TMCC

Hello, I have a ceiling layout and a table layout. Can I run 2 separate TMCC’s (1 for ceiling and one for table) at the same time? Or is theee another way to control both running at same time. Thanks

Simple answer is yes but are there 2 transformers or both layouts powered by the same transformer?

Either way as long as the TMCC base's "U" connector is attached to the common buss of each layout.

Same transformer a 275w ZW. So just put one on A and the other on B ?

You can use one TMCC command base to run them all by connecting the outside rails of the two layouts.  The U posts of the ZW are all common, there's a big busbar inside that connects them all.

Smokeandsteam4me thanks for asking the question.  You have inspired me to ask a similar question .. perhaps for Gunrunner John?

My situation is: I have TMCC Command Base connected to my MTH Z 4000 and currently run trains on two loops of track using my Cab 1 remote  with no problem.   I also have a trolley line ( bumper to bumper ) and another separate loop of track, which I run trains and the trolley in traditional mode from a ZW 250 transformer.    

My question is:   ... Being that the Z4000 is digital and the ZW is analog;  Can I connect the ground of the MTH Z4000 with the ground of the ZW 250?   Is it possible to  run trains with TMCC on 3 separate loops ( 2 powered by a Z 4000 and one powered by a ZW 250 watt ) using a single Command Base connected to both  a Z4000 and a Lionel ZW250 watt.  If so, what do I specifically need to do to make this possible?  

Obviously I don't need to the run the bump and go  trolley line with TMCC.
