Title: Williams steam locomotives.
Post by: stationmaster12 on October 09, 2015, 09:16:42 PM
Hey Guys,
Can I run a Williams steam locomotive using a Lionel PowerMax Power pack? The PowerMax puts out 40 wats. Or am I going to need a more powerful power pack?
Thanks

It's possible but you might be limited for low to medium speed., also not sure of you have whistle or bell with a low watt transformer. I would try at least an 80 watt Williams or Atlas transformer, or a 100 watt MTH transformer.
If you want to run lighted passenger cars then a 100 watt transformer would be better then an 80 watt.

Thank you! I plan to run passenger cars So I'll go for a 100 watt at least. I really would love to get a scale Hudson, But they can be a bit pricy.
