I assume when you said a 5 watt system with a 5 watt booster you actually meant 5 amps each time. That is a lot of current to send into one district, assuming it's 5 amps per district. Although I haven't tried Tony's Powershield products yet (I intend to when I get a booster for my system), I would certainly recommend doing so and possibly adding more districts and splitting the current between them. That way you could run 2 to 2.5 amps per district, which would limit the amount of current that could damage your locomotive's electronics. As was previously mentioned, you can call Tony's again and describe your situation and they should be able to give some good recommendations.
