I think the take-home lesson is that this generation of loco will probably (according to MTH) work fine with this list of power packs....nothing more, nothing less.......everyone has to make their own decision from there.....and isn't the ability to have more choices grand? (with the possible exception of toilet paper....which may come pretty close to one size fits all).  I think if manufacturers continue to add features to locos (and assuming features like synchronized smoke chew up power) and that we choose to take advantage of new power-hungry features, that we'll be faced with perhaps having to increase available power at some point to push the new features. From my viewpoint, it's just a power pack and represents a darn small investment......the MRC 6200 can be had for 80 bucks.  So I don't see getting my shorts in a knot over something that's relatively minor when investment in one really good engine is a lot more than a good power pack. But, to each his (or her!) own. Cheers, Mike
