Eddy wants to hear reader feedback on his train set power supply:

“I have just received Model Train Set stating ‘ROCO BR VT 11.5 (VT 601) TEE – HO 04183A’ on one side of the box. However, someone put a sicker on the other side of the box, ROCO BR VT 11.5 (VT 601) TEE HO43011.

It is a four (4) pc. train set. One powered diesel, two passenger cars and one
dummy diesel.

I’m having a hard time to run it on my track with other two locomotives. My power supply is 18VDC – 5.5VA. Maybe it’s not enough? Or maybe it’s AC not DC? Perhaps one of your readers can help by telling me what is the power requirement for this particular set? I have been told the power supply is too weak, because this is an old train set, and so I need at least
30 VA. Is this correct?”
