You did not state what locomotives you have and plan to have... how many will run at the same time, and even the models is important information, for example LGB locos draw less current than Aristo, and some of the USA locos, like the GP7 can draw 9 amps at stall.... <br /> <br />I'm running DCC, stainless Aristo rail, and have an ampmeter connected at all times... 20.2 volts AC with a 10 car train and 2 USA F3's is about 4 amps on mostly level grades. I have a 10 amp supply and that will probably be just enough for 5 F units MU'd at moderates speeds. I will probably go to 15 amp supplies. <br /> <br />Regards, Greg
