I am a big fan of the PH-180 bricks and use them for all track power on my layout. I have them running through my TIU channels to MTH terminal blocks, from there out to all track blocks. I connected Legacy to all the TIU output commons. It's worked quite well for over 6 years now. The PH-180s give you the most bang for the buck and arguably, have the best breakers of any power supplies available for use with our trains. So, IMO, I would definitely say you have the correct power supplies.
I have a Lionel PH-1 18v 10amp brick on my layout and all was well till a couple weeks ago. I'm running two trains on a single track with Tiu and DCS. All of a sudden it keeps shutting down as if a derailment occupied. Acts as if the breaker is getting weaker as it happens more and more.
I'm wondering if ten amps is enough or is there something else going on.
Thanks in advance,
Kenny
