<P>[quote user="TrainJoe"]I'm new to this forum: Have a question, Can you use a Maliban Garden light transformer with a cre-55471 receiver & cre-55473 transmitter. The layout is a overhead oval 10' x 20' in our dinner area. Would power 1 Lgb mogul & 3 cars. We use the A/C elite transformer for our outdoor layout. Would be great not to have to move the elite to both locations. Thanks for your help.[/quote]</P> <P> </P> <P>I would also warn against using non-LGB power and especially non-hobby transformers with G locos. The transformer should be made for hobby use, and you shouldn't skip on the quality of power when using your LGB. Yes, some products like the MRC Control Master 20 will work pretty good with LGB, but now LGB controls are reasonably priced enough (step up another $40) so you get equivelent power with added piece of mind. Also, the transformer can stay inside while the controller can stay outside. If anyone is investing in a garden railway, don't skip on quality when it comes to track, roadbed and power supplies.</P> <P>Regards,</P> <P> </P> <P>Tom M.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
