Merry Christmas all!
Ive posted a couple things on the forums but now come to a new crossroads.
By the end of January my new train table is going to be done (woooooo) and I am now getting to the point that I need to start worrying about power. I want to get involved with Legacy and LCS but have a multitude of questions.
1: I have a couple trains that are pre-TMCC and need to be run conventionally, do I have to keep a transformer on hand in order to power these engines? Ive seen a couple forums and pages that attempt to explain this but never answer my question.
1A: Ive seen and read thing about the Lionel Power Houses, am I able to buy one of them and pair it with the legacy system and run conventional trains with a remote with the varying currents?
2: Would it be possible to run a legacy/tmcc engine on the track at the same time as a conventional one? If not, whats the best way to block power to different parts of a track whilst keeping it all connected, is this possible?
3: Is there a way to upgrade engines to add TMCC control and what not, if so how expensive is it for someone to do it?
Thanks all! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!
