Just find out what your trains need and double it and get a power supply to match it. By the time you use up all your available power you will have changed your mind and you horizons will be higher. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds Ian <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks mate, <br /> <br />May I ask what you use? COuld you send me a pic of it to my e-mail. I plan to eventually have my backyard on big set of continueous track (a large circl of whose dementions I'ms still debating). <br /> <br />When I has my track set up indoors as a test, my brother made a joke that I would "open her up to see how fast she'd go" and it would crawl. This got me thinking...I really know very little 'bout power and control. What should I get. Battery seems to be the wave of the future, but that is another skill (the conversion to battery) that I just don't have yet. <br /> <br />
