Can TMCC & Cab 1 Be used w/ 0-27 Lionel sets?

Classic Toy Trains Forum

Hi,

Sorry for the “newbiness” , but I have been bitten badly by the toy train bug-again and I’m wondering if a layout of 0-27 train set engines can be powered by the Lionel TMCC & Cab 1.

I’m in a quandry as to wether to use the Cab 1 to run things or go the block wiring route.

The layout I have plans for will have both 0-27 and 0 gauge trrack and will have the capability of running at least three trains simultaneously.

Any help with this question would be appreciated.

kindest regards,

Pete

Pete, see this recent topic on a similar question:

If none of your O-27 locomotives are command-equipped (most are not), you won’t be able to run two locomotives on the same track unless you have block wiring. It is possible to run one command-equipped loco and one conventional loco on one track with a CAB-1 and Command base, but it will take a lot of concentration!

Thanks for the very helpful link to the Cab 1 demo. page I’ve been playing with it for an hour. Sweet.

Kindest regards,
