I am Running a Bachmann 10 wheeler Circus train indoors on an elevated track which is level. I also have the Circus 0-4-0 Porter running behind the 4-6-0 <br />Of the 15 cars on the train, 6 of them are getting their power for the lights from the track. The sound is also running from track power. <br /> <br />I recently replaced the Bachmann Smoke unit with a 5 volt LGB smoke unit <br />as described on the "Bachmann Big Hauler Tips by George Schreyer" web page. <br />http://www.girr.org/girr/tips/tips1/big_hauler_tips.html <br /> <br />The smoke works really well when the engine is running by itself. <br />When it is with the train I don't get any smoke. <br />I think I need a power supply with a higher amperage. <br /> <br />I currently am using an MRC200 <br />15.5 VDC <br />17.0 VA <br /> <br />I think I would like to get something that will put out at least 5 amps but I am not sure. <br /> <br />How can I figure how much amperage I need? <br />Can anyone recommend a power supply? <br />Does anyone have a used one to sell? <br /> <br />Thanks <br />Ron <br />
