Falcon70 posted:On the K Line multi motor E8 sets; have a six motor UP E8 set that sure would benefit from cruise; my question, how did K line manage to power six motor from one DCDR? Did K Line use a more robust bridge on the DCDR? Runs great on level track but the grades are runaways if not monitored. I need to cruise these units. Thanks; Falcon70
Current draw isn't additive when you add more units because its less work for each one. One engine may draw 1.5 amps but two engines may only draw 2 amps total. Three engines maybe 2.75. It won't be a problem for the DCDR unless the train stalls. Then current draw will be well past its limit.
