Woodland Scenics Shaper Sheets and Lionel Legacy Signal interference

I used them to make a tunnel and have had no issues.

Trains go though the tunnel, no problem.

I have some but haven't used them for fear of signal issues.  Why wouldn't it be the same as not using metal screening for the same reasons?

Thanks, I think I will give it a try.

I have talked to some people in the past who say their Legacy systems don't seem to suffer the above signal issues like TMCC does. Don't know if this is certain or not.  It would be interesting if one of the forum members above could try running a TMCC engine through a shaper sheet and see what happens.

The foil in the shaper sheets is most likely aluminum so one can not solder a ground wire to it but maybe some kind of electrically conductive tape?

Interesting. Thought the signal between the system & engines is the same, only the remote/base frequency changed.
