Title: amp draw
Post by: lrparks on December 17, 2008, 09:49:57 AM
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.
