Power Pack sugestions

[two tone]

I would use a 5amp   reason should you exspand your layout it will be powerful enough to run more than 1 loco on a loop

Any of the power supplies advertised in Garden Railways will be adequate for what you're looking to do. If you're just running one locomotive on a small railroad, there's no reason to have to buy the high-end power supplies--any of the smaller ones will suffice. You may find that the power supplies that come in "typical" starter sets to be a bit underpowered.

 

Having said that, when I first started in large scale, the only power supplies really available were basically HO-scale power supplies. They worked well for the smaller locos like the LGB mogul. There are better options available today.

I have a LGB 2028D mogul locomotive with the wood car and three additional cars. The track layout will be roughly 8' X 11' (outside, aristocraft brass narrow guage). Pretty simple oval. What is the correct size powepack I should use and must it be an LGB product, although I 've heard LGB is the best. I appreciate your feedback and assistance.

All the Best,

Bernie
