I'm new to garden railroading in that I haven't gotten my trains running yet. I've been busy trying to build buildings, set up track etc. I have a couple of inexpensive Bachman track powered train sets, but the transformers which came with don't seem to work. My layout is rather large (I'd guess maybe 200 feet total in two tracks, both circular and not connected. I thought I might need a more powerful transformer for that much track. What do I need to look for in a transformer/control for two tracks? What voltage/amps do I need/or is permissable on output? Will a Lionel pack meant for O scale work on a Bachman G scale (e-bay has a 275watt one which sounds nice and powerful = I think it says 22 volts DC). Sorry if this sounds too dumb, but again I'm just a beginner and don't want to buy something I can't use just because I was afraid to ask and sound dumb). Thanks
