Hello, I couldn't find the answers to these questions anywhere on the forum already.

How many locomotives can you put on the same track if you are using one lionel 80w, assuming the track fits in a 4x8 space with a few switches and accessories?

What happens if you have two 4x8 ovals that are connected by switches, powered by 2 transformers, without any isolation, with 2 locomotives? Will it run? I know the trains will not have independent speed control, but will they both run?
