I have downsized my layout. Now I have three independent loops on a small 5x10' layout. My power is from two 180Watt bricks directly connected to my TIU. I would like to run conventionally on two loops using variable 1 & 2 channels and run a third loop through my fixed one channel to run command only. IMy question is can I use a jumper wire so that I can power the three channels using two power bricks or do I need a third power source?

Sure you can,,, jumper var 1 in to var 2 in using 1 brick for power.
Thanks. Didn't want to buy something I didn't need.
I really like the 180 bricks. lots of power and fast circuit breakers....good luck.
I agree with Gregg. Price is right & breakers are fast (too fast?). I repalced a PW ZW with one, feeding two TIU channels that handle yards and so have few locos moving at once. Only problem is that if some battered car brushes the center rail in a switch, breaker pops at once.
