Hello guys,
I am wondering what a good power supply would be for a Big Hauler that needs to run for 6 or 8 hours a day?
here is a little background
I am a relative newbie to large scale, but have been railroad modeling since the early 70's and I have a good bit of "intellectual" experience in large scale but very little hands-on...anyway at work we got a Rocky Mountain Express (#90034) a few years ago to run around the Christmas tree and since I am The Train Guy it has become my job to keep it going.
The problem is that the loco stops running after 1/2 hour or so, we shut off the power and then after a while it will run fine again.
I have swapped out the track for Aristocraft track and have tried a MRC Tech II power pack. Neither change made difference.
Thanks
Mike
