[quote user="gregc"]i don't know exactly how much current my locos draw.[/quote] Wire a multivolt meter in series with a DC power pack on a section of track.  Aligator clamps and a harbor freight MVM set to measure current are all you need for this (I used the Radio Shack verison of the kit multi-volt meter). That will get you in the ball park..
