Dennis Blazetic,

    The best way you control track voltage is with a real transformer like a ZW, KW or a Z4K where you can incresase and decrease voltage as required, the big draw back to Brick transformers is that they are not individually able to modify voltage output.  If you want to modify voltage input to your tracks, use a real ZW type transformer with breakers between the transformers and the TIU if you also run DCS, and simply modify the voltage by raising or lowering the handles of the transformer.  You can even control the old ZW's

by leaving the handles set to the voltage you most desire and turn them on and off with the Etekcity remote outlet switch, a great way to control your full layout.

This is just one of the reasons I do not use Bricks to control any of my layouts.  The old ZW's or KW's are not that much money and work great, and give you multipule channels to adjust voltage from.
