Hello again, thanks for you help with the boxcar weight issues. i have another question, I am currently laying out my track over quite a large area. My wife and I live on 10 acres of land all landscaped by the previous owner. (takes me five hours to cut it using a garden tractor) I have spent the last four days laying out my track (connecting it) to see just how it will look. IT IS MASSIVE (my wife is a physician and we spent or tax refund on boxes of track). i should be done by the end of the week. so far I have at three 1000 foot straight aways, three 200 foot curves and various turnouts, sidings and spurs. Like isaid it is massive. ONce i get it all connected I will stake it out, take it up again (I decided to use availabe track and not cut paste), build the road bed then re-lay it. I plan on running at least five trains at the same time, three fright, and two passanger maybe more. My queston is......What kind of power system(s) would you recommend i use and how much power would i need to run a line of this size?
