Jim,

Thank you.

I will have an individual controller for each locomotive.

I will plan on 1 amp per train and see what happens.

Thanks again.

RAM,

Thank you,

The trains are HO scale and the locomotives are of the very inexpensive type I do not know the specifics of the motors but they must be very ordinary.

The track will be long (the workbench is 22' X 16') and it will go around many times before reaching the starting point.

I am stting up a large layout with many trains (at least 12). I am concerned with power consumption (amperes) that could cause a problem. None of the trains are digitaly controlled

Can someone tell me how many amps will each locomotive draw at more or less full speed?

Perhaps the question should be how many amps will each controller draw?

Thank you for your assistance.

Jose
