Hi,I have two separate figure 8 tracks and a 32 va transformer for each, can I attach two 32 va transformers to a single 6021 control unit so I can control everything from one control unit and have plenty of power? Kent in CA

Connecting 2 transformers to each other isn't recommended. And could even be dangerous.
Using just one 32 va transformer wouldn't release the full power of the 6021. The maximum output of a 6021 is 2,5A, so 2,5A x 16V = 40 va. I would recommend using a simple 52va transformer (Viessmann 5200 or alike) but if you're running no more than 2 or 3 locos, one 32va transformer will do in most cases. (Depends on extra functions, like sound and other differences between locos)

Two transformers should never be connected to each other.

Thanks for the information, I had a feeling it was a bad idea. Kent
