My layout is 8' x 16'. All TMCC and DCS. I never run more than 3 trains at a time. Power is a ZW transformer. I have about 7 small buildings and 1 moving accessory (oil drum loader.) I have a separate transformer for my turnouts. Could I use the ZW to also power my accessories (C or D channel), or should I use a separate transformer? Thanks!

If you add up all of the power demands you would be asking of the ZW and keep it under 200 watts, you should be just fine.
EMRLAW,
You should be fine as long as you do not run a lot of lighted passenger cars, use one or both of the inside channels for your accessories.

Is this is a protected transformer you are using?
