Boosting the EZ DCC System

Would it really end the world if I use a 1.5 amp wall wart for the Bachmann DCC system (I'm building a small setup for my grandson) instead of the 1.0 amp supplied by Bachmann?  I'm hoping there is enough excess capacity in the system that I won't wreck anything.  I'm not anxious to get the 5 amp booster because it is too pricey and he won't need anywhere near that amount of current.  Thanx for any replies.

I suggest you use the transformer (AC Wall Pack Power Supply) Bachmann provided.

During testing the Bachmann E-Z Command Control Center was founded to place more than the one amp advertised by Bachmann on the track. Worry about more power when you discover you need it. Then look at a DCC Power Booster NOT a different transformer.
