Generally speaking, it depends if you are running DCC or DC. <br />It depends about the volt amp (VA's) output of your power source. <br />Depends upon the electrical draw of your locos. <br />Depends upon how much weight you are hauling. <br /> <br />For instance, my LL P2K E7's and PA's require almost 1/2 amp per loco. Other locos only 1/4 amp. <br /> <br />On my outside 40' oval, I can run the Allegheny, the new bachmann heavy weight mountain and an <br />IIHC mountain all at the same time , occasionally throwing a block(DC) to slow the Bachmann down. <br /> <br />On my inside oval I run LLP1K.. <br />Two F3's consists, AB and another AB, (four powered units) <br /> <br />Chuck Walsh.
