I set up 5x10 Lionel Fastrack oval with a Hogwarts Bluetooth Lion Chief package. for my grandson. I used two power tracks and in this configuration, the setup works perfectly. However, I wanted to run an Atlas engine and an older Lionel engine in conventional mode. This is what I did:
I disconnected the power packs which connect to the wall/house electricity land left the power tracks on the layout. No power, no lights etc.
I then put two Fastracks (wired underneath) on the layout and connected them to an MTH Z-4000 transformer. The engines did a very quick stop/start sequence and one traveled several inches, but they would not run. I did notice that there was an 8 amp draw on the Z-4000.
Can use some help with this. Thanks
