No, the maximum output is of this 192W, so I wouldn't have thought it would be a good idea
What are you buying this Month?

A new camera ( Samsung s23 ), but what really is important, a Lionel 232 New Haven Alco, the orange one. Bought one going for another. 
I know not something exciting to anyone else but me. And also a Williams Brand sd45

I'm TRYING to buy N scale diesel locomotives decorated in Ohio Central.
There have only been 2 models produced that come decorated in OCS, both produced by Atlas. I was lucky to find an Alco C420 Gold Series a year or so ago. Atlas also made GP35s in OCS colors. In the past few weeks, the same seller has listed #2912 and #2913. I was outbid by a bid-bot (say that 5 times quickly) the first time, and so far, I've been outbid on 2913, which is currently still on eBay.
I have pre-ordered an Intermountain tunnel motor, but who knows if they will ever produce any.

Nice! That's a good day! Love the engine
I ordered a bunch of stuff yesterday: enough (hopefully) track to finish, UTP panel, cab bus cables and stationary decoder for switch machine.
I also got a few throttle pockets and a five pack of drink holders I can mount to the fascia. I was getting so sick of not having anyplace to put stuff!
Finally I got a cordless circular saw. I've wanted to keep one in my truck for work for a long time but when I needed it to progress on the layout I got it right away

I have just received 4 BLI engines from Terry ( @bnsf971 ) and want to thank him for them - they are much more than I expected and look brand new!
The engines I got are:
F7
F3A/B
Heavy Pacific 4-6-2
All with Paragon 3 or 4 systems installed obviously. I will post pictures in due course.
My favorite:
Thanks again Terry - these are terrific and will take pride of place on my layouts

While attending train shows with friends who express an interest in my hobby I've been asked why so many layouts set in the 1950's or thereabout? I told them I suspect it's because during this transition era steam and diesel engines were run. I think I might be on to somethingI model the "Transition Era" so I get the best of both worlds but have to admit - I am drawn to the Steam Engines, they just look and sound like real Trains

You just never know
Yeah they really are - I now HAVE to get this damn layout up and running in DCC Mode - even though these engines are dual mode, I'd prefer not to run them on DC.

Very nice, although I'm not a fan of the F7, F3A/B's, can't wait to see the steamer in action.I have just received 4 BLI engines from Terry ( @bnsf971 ) and want to thank him for them - they are much more than I expected and look brand new!

Yea, me too! I model present day, so no steamers for me, nut I do love them!

The old steamers bring back the Golden Age of Rail Roads - a Romantic Age filled with mystery and adventure ... a time when relaxation and luxury was more important than time ... I'd much rather travel on the original Orient Express or Flying Scotsman than some bullet train
