If I just want to patch this into my existing layout as a freestanding unit to control my MTH locomotives, do I have to connect it to a home WiFi? Will the antenna be necessary if I don’t want to connect to my home WiFi?

I agree with you this Christmas Set is one of best so far from Lionel! I thought about getting the Polar Express but like you it does not do much for me being a black engine & blue cars and many have the PE as you can see here on YT. The Christmas Colors, lights, and dialog are what make this set very nice! Great review!

And they made another one of the Polar Express sets, but with a 20th anniversary paint scheme to celebrate 20 years of the Polar Express.
@RonanThomas-cy8st Күн бұрын
Well, I was thinking if you wanted to re-buy the Polar Express I would suggest that. You should do it if you want to because you know they released it with Bluetooth 5.0 on it And there is two different versions There is the original set.That's the more affordable set and then The other one Is the same thing but Except it has The disappearing hobo car So I would suggest you get the original set If you want to re-buy the set and the cars.

I feel you man It's actually. For me, I actually got the Bluetooth 5.0 version and I'm about to get the 20th anniversary version And the Polar Express is actually my type. Pretty much the colors fit in they're my colors. But still I feel you're on that, dude and wait a second. How old are you? Let me guess you're not that old, aren't you? Like maybe in your early or late 20s. You know what? Just tell me.

Hi Sean. Great Video. Going to try the new one. I do have the old TIU with the WiFi module too. In my case I use a Lionel ZW transformer to power the track and a MTH brick to power the TiU. My one port on the TIU overloaded when I had a derailment a while ago and haven’t been able to get the TIU to stop blowing fuses. So going to try the new WTIU. Question is how to put fuse / circuit breaker between track and new WTIU. So that if I do have a bad derailment I don’t ruin the new WTIU ?
@seanstraindepot Күн бұрын
Yeah, never use a PW ZW with a TIU unless you have a quick acting breaker in between. Personally, myself I only use modern bricks to go through the TIU. You might want to put a question or look on OGR forum as many guys have done what you need to between the ZW and TIU.

Sean, can you run multiple WTIU’s in super mode? Do you still name one as the master and the others as the slaves as was done with the WIU?
@seanstraindepot Күн бұрын
Yes, you can run Super mode and its same setup as far as I know, but I don't have that setup. But the guide does mention it briefly with no further instruction. So, you can run WTIU with WIU/TIU. Make sure to download guide form MTH site.

With the new WTIU having its own power supply unit, do you have to run power through it from another psu? Can you just have the track feeders (star wiring) run to a terminal block, and then the terminal block connected to the WTIU? I am new and only plan on using DCS and Legacy with the Base3. Thank-you.

That power supply is just for the unit, not for powering track. You still need a transformer for your track power.

@@seanstraindepot I just watched the video from Mike Wolf. You still have to run the track power supply through one of the fixed outputs on the tiu. I guess that is obvious to some, but I only have a Base 3 which does not operate this way. I guess now the question becomes, how do you connect the base 3 and new TIU? Mike Wolf just said you need the serial cable from MTH DCS and buy a serial usb connector. That sounds messy. Will the one power supply to the track going through the TIU work to supply power to the track with the Base3 if both boxes are on?
