Hey Guys, <br /> <br />I have two twenty amp circuits in my new train room. One word: LIGHTS. 15 amps is only 15 - 100 watt light bulbs (I know there are more efficient lighting systems). If you plan to have a medium sized, well lit layout, lights are going to be your biggest load by far. While 40 amps may seem overkill, add up the number of lights you might want, you will be surprised... Add power tools, heater, etc you are there easily. I don't even consider the trains themselves and the attendant power supplies to be much in the equation. If you put in the two circuits, you never say later I wi***hat I had more power.... <br /> <br />My two cents,
