In HO there's a few differences in packs. <br />I beleive MRC is the leader and their packs carry a five year warranty. <br />Visit.www .modelrectifier.com <br />The typical HO diesel draws between .25 and .5 ampere of current. For things to operate smoothly, the pack must be able to deliver sufficient current to all the locos you are running at the same time. <br /> <br />The current rating is listed on the case of the pack. Most of these ratings are expressed in voltamps or VA's. The higher the VA's the more current it can deliver. <br />For instance the MR 9500 model has 30 VA's and can <br />easily run 6+ locos. <br />As time passes you may have more than two locos. <br /> <br />If you have access to a HO walthers reference book <br />MRC list their products with a breakdown chart of <br />features. <br />Their 1300 model has 7VA's and the 1370 model has 18VA's which should meet your requirements. <br /> <br />Happy railroading.
