In a few weeks, a friend and I are going to link our Zephyrs using loconet to run our micromodule layout at a local show. From what we can tell, we'll have to have two separate power blocks and one of the Zephyrs has to be the master and the other the slave. Has anyone else done this? Does it work? I'm presuming that when a loco crosses from block into the next, it doesn't really notice? -mike

Re:Linking Digitrax Zephyrs with Loconet
Connect a LocoNet cable between the two Zephyrs. Optionally, you may want to connect the two ground terminals together as well (#16 or #18 wire should be fine). Set OpSw#2 on the slave unit to "C", and away you go! Be sure that the Track A and B outputs of the two Zephyrs are connected to the layout the same way so that there isn't a polarity mismatch at the gap. Do this and trains will run between the two layouts without missing a beat. Doug
