This was very helpful for someone unfamiliar with Lionel Command Control to get started with a Base3. I was trying to connect a Lionel GP9 TMCC locomotive the other day but had some problems getting it to run properly. It might be the locomotive, however, because I bought it used off eBay. Either that, or the type of power supply I'm using. It runs fine on conventional power, but when I try with the Base3/Cab3 it pulses as it goes down the track and acts like it's hitting shorts in the track. Question: Can a Powerhouse Brick be used to power the track without a Power Commander module? From pics I've it doesn't seem that way, but I feel like I'd be buying a whole TMCC system if I bought those two items. I'm currently using an MTH Z1000 to power the track. 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for the video, my trains are finally running, THANKS
Fantastic to hear!

Wow! Great, quick startup guide!
Glad you liked it!
That system is way to complicated.I’m going keep my Universal Remote
