My TMCC and Legacy engines function perfectly using either TMCC or Legacy control however, when operating accessories (constant mode) Aux2 will cause a flicker on TMCC locos and Legacy headlights will go off.

When throwing turnouts (Atlas) Aux1 or Aux2 causes TMCC and Legacy engine headlights to flicker. These scenarios occur using TMCC or Legacy handhelds. All ASC and OTC's are powered by Lionel 1.8 Amp transformers.My Legacy has been updated by Lionel to 1.61 when they serviced my ststem.

Any assistance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have a solid answer for you but a few things to check:

What interface are you using to activate the accessories remotely? An SC-2? If so, they sometimes have internal antenna issues and require a ground wire to be placed near them for signal improvement.

I assume that your accessory transformer AC plugs are phased with the plugs of the transformers that are powering the train loop(s)?
