I'm a minister whose denomination moves me every 4-6 years. Consequently, after giving up layout after layout, I've finally decided to construct a totally modular layout in N scale. To do that, I need to determine which connectors, plugs, and switches (not turnouts) to use according to the amp ratings of each. Because of an impending move (hence my motivation for a modular layout) I've already packed all my locomotives and cannot determine the average amp load drawn by N scale equipment. Does anyone know a good way to determine load ratings in amps drawn by N scale locomotives? I know it's determined by the number of total amps drawn by the total number of locos but what does the usual N scale loco draw in amps? Also, how critical is a connector, plug, or switch rating? Thanks in advance for the help. H.L.
