SC-2 Switch & Accessory Controller
Overview of conventional control with the PowerMaster, new ZW and the TPC Series
3. Conventional Operation Raise and lower track voltage to control speed, interrupt power to sequence “e-unit” for direction control
Operator controls voltage, not locomotive
Two locomotives on same track requires block wiring
4. TMCC Operation Fixed voltage on track
Each locomotive has it’s own unique ID number (that you set)
Direct control of individual locomotives (up to 99)
Multiple operators on the same layout running their trains, not varying track voltage
Multiple locomotive “lash-ups” operate as one locomotive
5. The Command Base The TMCC Command Base is connected to your layout with one wire.
Transmits the Command Signals along the outside rails of the track
6. The CAB-1 Remote Your handheld throttle
Communicates with the TMCC equipped locomotives via the Command Base
Several CAB-1 Remotes can be used on the same layout
7. TMCC Equipped Locomotives Normally have both TMCC and Railsounds
Come from the factory as ENGine # 1

Overview of conventional control with the PowerMaster, new ZW and the TPC Series
10. SC-2 Switch and Accessory Controller Can operate SIX switches, or up to TWELVE accessories
Factory set-up is FOUR switches and FOUR accessories
Easily reprogrammed to DEDICATED switch or accessory modes
Distributed around your layout

11. Powermaster, Track Power Controller and new ZW Not a Power Supply, but a power controller
TPC can use multiple power supplies
Has two functions
Provide fixed power for command operation
Provide variable power for conventional operation
TPC is compatible with MTH Protosounds made after circa 1996
New ZW performs a similar function as TPC, but comes with power supplies
