<P>[quote user="RichTJ99"]Great tips! It sounds like its pretty safe then![/quote]</P> <P> </P> <P>Actually, many of the LGB layouts I have seen in person and in the literature show power supplies (LGB brand only) mounted on the wall. Then, the controllers/throttles are also on the wall or on a table below. There should be no problem with LGB transformers that way, provided you take into consideration the drywall itself and its heat limitations. Mounting to wood would be much preferred, but if thats not possible, drywall would be okay as although after about 3 hours of use the LGB transformers will get quite warm (it does depend on the total amperage of current you are using on the tracks) a little mounting board of wood or plastic behind the transformer before the drywall would really work fine.</P> <P>Regards,</P> <P> </P> <P>Tom M.</P>
