Is a 100-Watt transformer adequate for a Std. Gauge trolley and a lot of mainline?

I have a PS2 Std. Gauge trolley that hasn't been run in some years...and while I use to power it via a handle on the Z-4000 I've since hooked that transformer to my basement O-gauge layout, and so am in need of a transformer for the trolley. I have a good amount of track ~ around 25 feet in a compressed dog-bone shape - which will go on the living room floor. I am thinking two lock-ons at each end of the dog-bone. Would a Z-1000 (100 watt) transformer be adequate? I don't know if the trolley has one or two motors. It is the Christmas version tinplate Std. gauge. It has headlights as I recall. Does the Z-1000 have accessory terminals? If there's power to spare, I'd like to use it to power the houses, too.

I'll probably run it conventionally, unless I can get my spare TIU to work, then I'll use DCS.

Thanks.
