[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Don Gibson</i> <br /><br />I was unaware that BLI sold their AB combinations all powered. If so, that might tax a lot of todays power packs. Without meters, how would one know? Sound adds about an extra watt (VA) to each unit. <br /> <br />Joe Fugate mentions that BLI 's QSI locos also have a capacitor to charge up. Hmmmm.4 units X 1amps + .25 amp motor + load- and 50% for starting = ??? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Good questions. <br /> <br />I have a video on the You Tube that shows two of the units tied to a Analog Tech 4 power pack. They were thirsty for power but the pack handeled them well. The units were sorta onery because they were fighting to draw as much as possible to feed thier appetites for power. <br /> <br />I might just put all 4 units on the bench later this weekend and fire em up on that poor pack. The Tech 4 people enjoy telling the world how powerful thier packs are. Well, we are going to prove em. (For a few minutes any how)
