Railroader21, when I first got into this hobby, the power supply that came with the starter set could handle the Stainz engine (0-4-0) and a 2-6-0 that was acquired later.  There was no trouble if I ran them slowly, but when I sped them up the power supply would shut down so I knew more power was necessary. An MRC 6200 easily ran both engines and never shut down.  But when I acquired a Hartland 4-4-0, a shut down would occur after a rather long operating period.  So again, more power was needed. None of these engines are power hogs as some diesels are.  And I only run indoors at Christmas time, with several loops, so other 6200s came on line and, for my purposes, do just fine,  I have had no trouble with the LGB wires. Those that run outside, year around, need much more power than I do. You should plan ahead as to what type of railroading you want to have and buy accordingly.  Browse the forums here and buy wisely.
