I have two Lionel brick transformers, (one for left side and one for right side) command control, and a power master. Everything seems to work fine except that when you bring up the power with the Cab-1 both power blocks come on and the voltage increases equally. I use the "TR 1" function on the Cab-1 to bring up the power. But it brings up the power on both sides. Thank you

If you only have one powermaster ( I don't see any s there ), you only get one variable output. If you're talking two powermasters, my guess is you have them both programmed for the same address. From page 5 of the PowerMaster manual.
Your PowerMaster is factory-programmed as track (TR) 1. If you are using a number of PowerMasters to control different blocks of track, keep in mind that each PowerMaster must have its own ID number. No other product–including Track Power Controllers, multiple locomotive lash-ups that are addressed as “trains,” or other PowerMasters–can share that ID number. Assign a unique ID number (any number between 1 and 9) to each PowerMaster.
What are you calling a powermaster? Is it the black rectangular box that is the same size as a TMCC Base, but has a 3-pin connector and two thumbscrew terminals?
To what are your two bricks connected?
