I was at the Worlds Greatest Hobby show and was impressed with Bachmann's HO layout for there Thomas display. Are the plans for this layout avalable, & hats off to whoever designed this. If you have not seen it they have managed to put 5 loops & most of the main features of Sodor Island in a 3x6 layout. Nice work I could'nt pull my boys away. 

My son purchased a used Acela train set minus track & power pack. Dose anyone know how much power (volt & amps) is needed to run this set, ours does'nt have enough power to climb any grade. There is a Acela web site that calls for 20V & 10A power pack to reach a scale 150mph. If you have a set what do you run?
