hi and thanks for the free forum!
i have a lgb train. i purchased a large loco many years ago and now the kids are old enough for me to be willing to run this $1000+ behemoth for the first time this holiday. problem is the transformer is not large enough... i think?
what i have currently is only 1 amp. the loco and lighted cars require me to run the throttle at the max to have the train run at a relatively slow speed. in about five minutes the transformer over heats and shuts down.
so i have a predicament christmas is in 5 days and i have one low cost solution for a quickly had transformer, its the mrc tech 4 260. will this work with the lgb train and will the amperage be sufficient?
many thanks
