I have a Bachmann 2-6-0 Kansas Central #102 Mogul that will be battery powered. I don't expect to have more than 6 oz of battery. I plan on pulling a jackson sharp full baggage car, jackson sharp coach, and caboose. I'll have a RCS R/C system with P5t sound. The largest grade on my line is around 3%. What is the max amp draw I can expect if I'm also running loco lights? Comments on MyLargeScale forum suggests around 1 amp.
Try asking on the Large Scale Central forum.
A good bunch of knowledgable folks over there.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
It can't be more than an amp, Mine running on track power up a 3 % with lights on but no smoke draws less than half an amp more lie a quarter amp.
