........and ya' know, all this transformer talk and what is or isn't needed to run this engine is beginning to sound like a whole lot of guesswork (i.e., little data) which eventually drifts into the realm of heap bigum smoke.  The MRR review indicated that excessive voltage may be needed but MTH replied that their testing couldn't repeat the MRR results (kinda like those who tried to reproduce the cold fusion experiment years back). So, I took the unorthodox route and emailed MTH asking what power packs are recommended for the engine.  The MTH HO brochure pictures an MRC 6200.....which is on sale this week via Walthers for $99.95 (uh oh.....is some bonehead going to accuse me of being a "Walthers shrill" now?). I'll drop a note here when I get a reply. Cheers, Mike
