[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dknelson Hmmm even the cheapest shouldn't do that unless it has been dropped or abused There are enough N scalers switching to DCC that I would think good power packs would be available used, at decent prices, at swap meets. But demand a demonstration on site. I am in HO and while I do not mean to gloat, the power pack I currently have hooked up to test some rail joints and feeder wires is my original Model Rectifier Ampack -- circa 1961, still looking as shiny and nice as the day it was new, and still working as intended. It is not the pack that will power my layout but when I am done with this testing it will return to the workbench to my test track. That was I think their second lowest level pack at the time, but Model Rectifier was quality merchandise that cost a little more even back then. The hobby shop owner who talked my dad into this 45 years ago made his money on the sale but my dad paid for quality and got it. Dave Nelson [/quote] I am a firm believer in buying quality but some how I talked myself into buying this one. You know how it is. New to the hobby, didn't have anything but some room and some scrap lumber. I paid $13 for hi pack the same day I went to a train show and the cheapest MRC pack there was about $50. DCC was alway my goal but I wanted to get enough track laid to justify running 2 trains before I spent the money on a system. It looks like I will be upgrading a little sooner than I thought.
