But...also...I'm running on a 10x4 table...and checking the track voltage directly my engine runs best at say 11 volts...reasonable speed...maybe a little faster than I'd like...but anyway...when that engine crosses a track joint at one location the measured voltage drops by .4 volts...10.6 volts then...and this small drop is enough to almost stop the train...thus why I asked about strictly regulating power inside the engine with just a simple regulator for conventional operation.
