Hi Joe, <br />If you are going to have a lot of track mate then you have to figure in track cleaning time. A lot of track then obviously a lot of cleaning, which then splits you down two routes, <br />1) That's a lot of cleaning - how do I do it? <br />2) Battery - I don't need to do it. <br />Under no 1 we all have different ways, LGB track loco, pads on broom handles, on your knees etc. My completed circuit will be around 140 feet, for me the upper limits of cleaning by hand. <br />Under no 2 it will never be a major factor again, clear the big stuff and away you go. As Ian says, you wil probably want something else in a year or three anyway. <br />I have a 5 amp power source with TE, wonderful stuff. If I ever go battery then the track power and TE will have a use doing something else, if it's only street lamps! Nothing is ever wasted. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
