Reply to "Atlas O Scale Operating Oil Pump: To me, a disappointment."

Kool,

I too watched Eric's review, in advance of buying. I took it out of the box as gently as I could, and it still broke.

My box (for the Redbird pump) has zero electrical information on it, except "For AC or DC power, 8-22 volts."

Does this mean I can hook this up directly to my little train transformer, with 7.5 amps, and set it on 12 volts without burning out the pump? Who knows? Can hair thin wires handle 7.5 amps? Who knows?

I see online that I can buy small phone chargers, that put out 1.5 to 3 amps of DC current. But, I'm not sure those tiny wires could even handle 3 amps.

Ridiculous that Atlas puts out a product for nearly $100 without an adequate set of electrical specs.
