Hey all,

I am trying to understand what will happen when I replace my now broken ZW-C with Power Masters.

My layout consists of two oval and a switchyard.  Each of those track features operate independently via power blocks allowing three different conventional locomotives to operate at the same time. Previously I was using AU, BU, and DU off of my ZW-C.  All power blocks share the same common. My layout does include a LECACY #990 Base and a LCS Wifi Module and I consider myself to be a LEGACY user novice.  

Previously, I would simply program my ZW-C to be TR# 2-5 and control my conventional remotes with my Cab-2 Remote.  Life was good.  I understand that if I program LEGACY Power Masters to control the already existing power blocks my trains will operate just fine.  However...  

Question:
1) If I get a short one power block (Call it Power Master TR#2) will power trip off to the other two blocks?  
2) Are shorts isolated to individual power masters or do they cause ALL power masters to trip?

Thanks,
  ~Kevin
