Each locomotive will use about 4 amps. I did some quick math and it will cost upwards of $400 to make something simple with just existing tech (DB200s). Making just a simple 15 or 20 amp booster with the ps2012 <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/171984626090?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true">this</a> would cost a fraction of that. My main problem here is the resistance of the rails, not the number of locos. I just need something that can make sure the rails don't need a power feeder every three feet. Remember: This is S gauge. I am using track and locomotives (with replaced motors) from the 1960s. Call me crazy, but this stuff is so cheap! It just doesn't have the greatest connection between track sections... Thanks for all the suggestions, though!
