Awesome lashup Tommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a question. MTH says that you can only run 190 VA or 10 amps thru each channel of their TIU and you can only run one channel to each track system (without isolation track). So if you are using DCS how can you be operating over 10 amps? Thanks for your reply in advance bro and have a great one! Great video!

@byates59 Internally theirs a 20 amp fuse (inside the TIU) *I've put my TIU's through "utter hell" exceeding 20 amps and aside of melting the lugs (they were loose where "nutted" inside the TIU's) that's it. IOW I've tried to intentionally "blow" my TIU's and have found their indestructible. *** I use Lionel bricks in parr. ONLY) That's all I know. I run my stuff HARD, too this date: NO Failure. :-)

Very nice Tommy! I have the MoPac Hertage myself. I'd like to get a Legacy Heritage engine. BTW are you using Legacy or DCS to run these? Anyway nice video! (You now have a new subscriber!)

Oh good. Sorta had me worried there. Poor little guys huffing and puffing and slowly going up that hill. Love the George Bush train. It's really pretty. Yeah, we miss him. Love The Katy she is a pretty sight.
