POWERMASTER PM-1 12867..?

It should run it fine. I use the 6-12867 for all my loops of track. (1 per Loop).

Be advised that the unit is only for use with 135 watt power sources:

From Lionel's web site:

"Allows operation of conventional locomotives not equipped with TCC. Designed for use with the 135 watt PowerHouse Transformer. Even if you operate only TCC equipped locomotives, the PowerMaster provides the convenience of a remote controlled circuit breaker and power switch.

thanks for that Info!  my intention is either having two KW or one zw (or two )  maybe a with a Lw.

I thoughrt I read before this 135 will work with any of the postwar transfers

My "new " ? is will the cab -1      make the postwar horn work with the button on it

when It is running.  And if I put a new Lionel conventional engine on it will the whistle button and the horn button work  ,,(with out adding those diodes  on the track)  .Thanks again ! ..DANiel

If you haven't already bought the old PowerMaster, I'd strongly recommend you consider the Lionel 6-37146 Legacy PowerMaster.  This is compatible with the TMCC system you have, but offers better performance over the old PowerMaster products.

If you don't have the TMCC command base, then the Legacy PowerMaster won't work for you.  You mentioned running TMCC, so I assumed you had the CAB1 and the command bse.

Daniel,

Exactly what equipment do you have?

To use the Powermaster with your conventional engines you will need to have the TMCC Cab-1 (handheld unit). 

The 135W powermaster (hooked up to an appropriate transformer set to max. voltage) will respond to the handheld unit and raise and lower the voltage to your track without the command base component for conventional equipment.

The horn and bell buttons on the handheld unit should operate your engines horns,whistles and bells.

When you say: " Only thing I have  is the Lionel TMCC reciever part  no cab-1 " do you mean you have the command base component?

Please tell us what you have.

Only thing I have now is the base (1L)  for the TMCC,  I plan on buying the rst  ( cab -1... and this time what I did not have a powermaster  , to run my postwar engines and the CC remakes.. also I want to run some TMCC equipped engines .. BUT I did not want to buy or spend more than I have to ..

But do not want to regret buying something that does not work for my new 6x9 layout..Thanks DANiel

You have the BASE-1L, the new one?  If so, you do NOT want the older PowerMaster, it doesn't work with that. 

How about the exact model number of what you have?

Thanks for the help.. I'm pretty sure it cam in a box with then number 6-12911  on the unit it has 27.255 MHz   frequency 26.995  model BASE-1  that's all I know about it and all I got lsft   thanks daniel

If you have the command base, which looks like the picture below, you can use the Legacy PowerMaster, and I think it's a far superior choice.  You will have to obtain a CAB-1 remote to use with that command base as well.
