I am using an MTH Z1000 controller to run various Lionel and Williams by Bachmann locomotives conventionally (old school). I see that the "brick" has two accessory tabs on it. I want to hook up an Atlas search light signal or a 3 color aspect signal to the Z1000, how do I connect the wires from the signal to the brick? Is there an MTH device that will allow me to wire additional accessories? How many locomotives can a single Z1000 safely run? Right now, I am planning to use three Z1000's to run three different loops (is this overkill?). There aren't any turnouts on any of the three O gauge loops. Thank you for any information on this. I checked out You Tube but it either was confusing or did not cover my question.
