       Powering Two LionChief trains & iCab app

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Last year for Christmas I purchased the Polar Express O Gauge
       LionChief and the Outer Loop Track Pack.  For Christmas this
       year I just got the Pennsylvania Flyer LionChief and a CW-80.
       Consequently I will have 3 power supplies: two wall packs and
       the CW-80. I am also thinking of combining the track from the
       two sets by maybe purchasing some more manual switches. My
       questions are:
       1) I had thought that the CW-80 would supply enough power for
       both trains, but I see a reference on the official blog that I
       might need more power if running two trains.
       So I'm in a dilemma trying to figure out what I'll need to set
       this all up.  Assembly of both sets happens Christmas eve at a
       different location so I can't test things out beforehand.
       1a) Will the CW-80 Power both trains?
       1b) If not, any way to use the two wall power packs I'll have?
       1c) If not 1a or 1b would I need to purchase the 180 powerhouse
       (6-22983)?
       1d) if 1c, will this connect via the wall pack track connector,
       the CW-80 track connector (which I ordered), or does it use
       something else?
       2.  I aw elsewhere a reference to the iCab app.  It evidently
       for Legacy and TMCC systems.  Will it work with LionChief?
