Piercedan makes a good point - if you run engines that do not require a lot of power and are not pulling a lot of cars then you can use a smaller power supply. <br /> <br />If you are looking to get a power supply that you can run almost anything with then opt for a power supply with a high VA rating - something of 240 or better if you want to go with the 10 amp rule (240VA means you can have 10 amps at 24 volts). <br /> <br />Not all power supplies have the same build quality either. I have seen the insides of some units that have, for lack of a better term, spaghetti wiring (a big mess which means lost power in the power supply. Also have seen "floating components" that is a omponent of the power supply that was only held with internal wiring - a very dangerous method as that can lead to shorts and possible electrocution. <br /> <br />Best bet is to get a power supply that meets your needs, your budget and is a quality product.
