So your saying to get this 1 amp controller:  (<A href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6064613847">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6064613847</A>) Again, I would most likely buy it locally.  I dont think the layout will ever get larger (as it is on the ceiling) and with the total dimensions of 13.6x10x3 (I think its a total of no more than 60 feet in a circle).  The transformer will most likely only run 1 train.  Possibly a Mogul like this:  <A href="http://www.millerstoys.com/shopexd.asp?lgb=Yes&id=4200">http://www.millerstoys.com/shopexd.asp?lgb=Yes&id=4200</A>  or something larger like the Mikado <A href="http://www.millerstoys.com/shopexd.asp?lgb=Yes&id=2322">http://www.millerstoys.com/shopexd.asp?lgb=Yes&id=2322</A>. As this is supposed to be something my infant son can look at as he stares at the ceiling (as most babies do), I was hoping to get some sort of cars that light up (passenger car lights, or worklights on an accessory, etc), i want to make sure that the transformer can run the Train itself (with 0 slowdowns) along with any lights from the cars. The other lights I was thinking of are for decoration down the line.  I come from a Lionel background (about 10 years rusty) & I seem to remember those trains could use the track power for lights (or something like that).  I guess LGB is a different animal?   The store suggested that I get a 50111 AC Transformer, 6 Amp, 20 Volt, 120 Volt(<A href="http://www.millerstoys.com/shopexd.asp?lgb=Yes&id=2894">http://www.millerstoys.com/shopexd.asp?lgb=Yes&id=2894</A>) 6 amp LGB transformer, along with this 51070 Analog Throttle, Indoor, 5 Amp (<A href="http://www.millerstoys.com/shopexd.asp?lgb=Yes&id=2945">http://www.millerstoys.com/shopexd.asp?lgb=Yes&id=2945</A>)   So I am a little confused still.    Thanks, Rich
