I have a G scale Gold Rush train set #90022, but I cannot find the transformer can someone give the specs for a transformer that would work for this set.
TY
HI, The one that came with your set is one amp. Any Transformer with 1 amp or more will be fine for your set.
Take care,

Various online Train stores for $65 to $70.
Now, Piko makes a basic 1.5A (amp) unit but it will cost you $115 plus shipping from OnlyTrains (Piko 35027 45 Watt Analog Power Set 120V)
Keeping the price under $100 is virtually impossible, so if it is simply you want a way to run a single Bachmann 4-6-0 under the Christmas tree, etc. Then the Bachmann will serve your needs. If you're going big or going outside, you'll need to spend more money.
