I am adding a second level to my layout. Lionel remote control switches are powered on the 1st level by a separate transformer, & controlled by SC-2s using Legacy command system. That level is powered by two 180 watt bricks connected to a TPC 400. It is larger than the proposed 2nd level with 5 trains consisting of heavyweight passenger cars.
My plan is to power the 2nd level with 1 or 2 180 watt bricks & a TPC 300. It will have only 1 traditional / conventional freight train operating on it.
My questions are:
1) can I power the switches on the 2nd level with the same power source as powers the switches on the 1st level?
2) if I do, will the same switch power souce for both levels cause a problem since there will be two different track power sources?
