Hello all,

I recently purchased the MTH Wi-Fi, Lionel serial 2 plus all the connectors eandtables as shown in the MTH catalog front pages which should enable me to run Lionel the MTH Wi-Fi setup. I can get my few MTH engines running fine using my Android tablet. It seems like I can set up the Lionel TMCC engines and the dials will work on my tablet but the trains will not go anywhere or do anything such as whistle or bell. Again, the dials will work showing me the train is going  but the trains won't do anything. I am at a loss. I know I have all the correct cables and the setup is correct.

I did contact MTH and they thought that Lionel might be able to help me more seeing how I have my legacy sdock and Lionel serial 2 installed in the setup.

I'm really getting frustrated because I have several times more Lionel engines that I want to run on my tablet and cannot do so.

Any help is much appreciated, Merry Christmas, Jerry

 I'm pretty darn sure I have everything wired correctly just in case what page are you referring to in Barry's book?

Attached is pictures of my wiring. I seem to get one TMCC engine working but very erratic. I can't even get numbers on my speedometer on my Android? The tablet functions seemed to work but I can't shut down the engine?

Hopefully, if you can decipher  my pictures  they may  present a clue as to what I possibly am doing wrong . 

 Again, much much thanks and Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Jerry

Thanks for the replies guys. My legacy Common Ground goes to my comment that goes around the whole layout.

Is the base wire actually connected to the tracks common/outer rails? There is a Cab-2 Legacy system in the picture, do your Lionel trains operate if you use it? When using the MTH Wi-Fi does the base red light flash to show it is actually receiving the command to be sent out?

My ground wire from Legacy station goes to my common that goes around the whole layout. The cab too and the picture is not in any use. Trains do run on my legacy remote.

If the trains run right now using the Cab-2 Legacy remote you just need to know if the Legacy base is receiving the MTH sent commands.

Do the red lights flash on the base while you are attempting to do anything via the MTH Wi-Fi? 

Thank you very much for the input and pictures. I seem to be giving it to work somewhat but I am getting a lot of tiu not found or active tiu not found? I'm using an Android Samsung tablet. Also, I cannot get my home Wi-Fi network to work. The only way I can get things working is using the MTH DCS Network. Really getting frustrated with this.
