Hello Everyone. <br /> Just a quick note to introduce myself to the forum.My name is Troy and I live in the south east corner of England.I am fairly new to garden railways (although have modelled extensively in OO).I'm a firm believer in seeing what you want via pictures of models and then scratchbuilding a much cheaper version.My layout is about 132 foot with 2 loops complete with 2 passing loops at the station,allowing me to run 4 locos.I've read through the questions and answers through the forum and am impressed with the help that is offered.Some forums on railways are so dedicated to perfection I'm frightened to post anything! They would even find fault if they were confronted with the real thing. <br />Anyway to the point of this post:I am currently running trains on an LGB 1 amp starter set transformer and am having power problems.I have the chioce of buying a bigger transformer (5 amp analogue) or going over to the LGB MTS system.I would really appreciate any feedback on the pros and cons of MTS as it is an awfull lot of money.I would prefer to stay with LGB transformers.My father uses a 10 amp plus 5amp transformers for his vast garden layout and it works fine for him but since I only have a few locos the price of adding decoders is not a problem for me. <br />Not such a quick note after all! (sorry).Thanks Troy
