Locomotive Pull Power
Rich is having problems with getting his locomotive moving and wants to hear from others who might know what he can do to improve his locomotive pull power:
“I have just recently put together some track and the old “O” model train. I know very little about special details concerning electrical requirements for this system. I have a power supply, ac transformer to output of 6 to 18v ac, but at full rotation of the supply knob, the engine can barely move the set of 8 cars on the flat surface. Can someone tell me do I need a heavier duty transformer, or what?”
