Dan yep looks like it is a good power source. Anything 18v DC will be fine. If you look at amazon they have quite a few in the 150.00 price range. I'm trying to stick with a Lionel power source, no good reason for it. Depending on how big your layout is. I was running my LC and LC+ on the standard 10.8 units that come in the set. One on each main on my 17x10 around the room track (wouldn't call it a layout yet).
