Hello
Thanks to everyone for all the great info .
This is what planning is all about.I want to have enough power and have room for more down the road
I have one Kw and several Cw -80 for accessorizes and switches, etc
A new Zw -l would be cool ,but the boss would not let me send that much ,and I am concerned over the its life time something would go wrong and would be a head ache to repair
I will be running mostly conventional stuff and something new if I get one.
The one thing I can not seem to find is modern circuit protection that is ready to go ,with out having to build it myself.
I am sure there are others that would mind having a product that one can add without breaking out the solder iron.
I would like something that could be install without much fuss.
I work with tec all day ,The latest project at work and is a $850,000 bust and the last thing I want is more of it when it comes to my trains .
Now the new stuff is cool and I wonder will some of this be running 15 - 25 or more years down the road .
I say this because while at the store ,a guy brought a steamer that had been not run in many a year. The tec in a few moments cleaned and a quick lube was running just fine.
Still would need a full service ,But it did run around the the test track.
