A friend of mine gave me a DC power pack today called the Railpower 1300. A couple of questions on this:
1. Who makes it?
2. How powerful is it? (it is only gonna be used for accessories)
Thanks,
Cody
You do not have Google?

didn't even think of trying Google, thanks
The Railpower 1300 is one of the models made by Model Rectifier Corp of Edison, NJ Personally I am still using 2 MRC dual cab tech 4's (Though I plan to convert to DCC soon). Interestedly they are still made in the USA a plus. I Have found MRC power packs to be far superior to the ordinary power usually supplied with train sets.
trainsrock,
Only using this powerpack for accesories in my opinion, is a waste of a good powerpack. This powerpack gives out alot of power, and is perfect for running more than 1 train at a time. If you're using DCC, then nevermind, but I would suggest getting a less powerful one for accesories, and use this one for running engines. A very good powerpack indeed. :)
Blink 182: I realize that it is a goor powerpack. But it was given to me by a friend for free. I did not buy it. I am using the EZ-Command for running my trains (DCC obviously) and I am gonna use either a Bachmann DC or the Railpower for my accessories.
Ok, trainsrock. I wasn't sure if you were using DCC or not. I was just saying that the Railpower powerpacks were a very good brand. :)
Okay, and I figured they were since they are made by MRC.

Absolutely agree! I've got three of 'em!
