Title: Bachmann Trains
Post by: clayhillkid on April 24, 2012, 08:47:28 PM
I am just starting the train craze. I have puchased a Bachmann Locomotive analog. I plan to have a huge track. What controller do I need.

Right now, look in the Product Information section for the power pack if all you want is DC.

Define huge.

The larger the layout the larger the controller you will need.
Are you going to stay with DC or go DCC?
With DC you can also use several controllers to share the load.
With DC i have an MRC control master 20 that will run 5 DC powered engines at once. It's 5.5 amp.
