Hello, <br /> <br />I am new to G scale and am at the construction planning phase. Can anyone suggest a moderately priced (< $200) power supply/controller to power a double motor engine on 100 feet of track? I'd prefer power and controller all in one, but price would dictate. I doubt my LGB starter set power would cut it. I was considering MRC's 220-watt despite the reviews (and MRC) illustrating the fact the handle falls off! I know LGB's "Jumbo" is over $500! Amazed that G scale is somewhat a mystery with regards to the area hobby shops. Also wondering if anyone could suggest a reputable site that sells brass track. I don't want to, and am not required to get into "bending" and would prefer purchasing the longest straight sections of sectional track available. So far I have collected some Aristo and LGB and have no problem (albiet the tie color doesn't match) of blending the two. Unlike "O gauge", I am not reading any minimum radius requirements for the rolling stock and the additional engine I have purchased so far. Should climate be a concern, I live in Western PA, where it can get below zero during winter and push 100 during summer. I plan to operate year round. The layout design is a variation of a "dog bone" and in the future I may to add one turnout to route the livery to my garage for storage (way in the future!) which would add an additional 20'. Sorry if my questions are redundant, but with dial-up, it could take hours going through the threads! <br /> <br />Rich.
