I have a small layout 10'x 5' and use Tech 4 MRC 280 dual. Bought it last year and everything worked great. Haven't used it for 6 months as I run G scale in the summer. Just tried it now and it's producing half the volts it was last year. Tried 6 different engines with the same results. The unit is a year old. But this unit was stored accidently close to a few small magnets just an inch or so away. Would this affect the power packs power output? Thanks.
