Just today, I finished laying the perimeter of my garden railway.  I used LGB Track, a 1 amp analog 20VDC transformer and power dial.  Unfortunately there is a 2 or 3% grade at times (which I know can cause havoc).  I have both the LGB "Stainz" loco and LGB F7A (I love that diesel engine).  The "Stainz" moves along ok along the perimeter - but you can definitely see it struggle on the grade with just 3 cars in tow.  Heck, the F7A won't even budge on the incline with no cars in tow. I have deducted that I need a new power set-up, and I have little idea on which set-up I should get.  LGB warns against using non LGB powering brands - but they are expensive and there is little details given on LGB's website regarding its powering products.  I eventually will have switch tracks and the F7B unit - - - so I guess "MTS" is in my future.   Any guidance or advice you can share will be greatly appreciated.   -Matt
