Reply to "Menards Buildings"

River City 3 Railers has 15 Menards buildings on our 12x15 modular layout. Two of these (World Headquarters and Parking Garage) have sufficient power requirements that we use the Menards supplies. To power the remaining 13, we used nine of the AC/DC converters Consolidated Leo mentioned.

They are powered by the accessory circuit of our MRC Pure Power Dual transformer. It puts out 13.3VAC. These converters were checked and adjusted to ensure 4.5vdc BEFORE plugging in any device. And, these converters are rated for 2.5a. We limit the load @ 75% of capacity.

CCTV power plugs prewired on each of 7 modules. It is important for us to be able to plug in the building, set it down on the layout and go. Our goal is to be able to unload the trailer and have the layout operational in one hour or less.

The load data provided by Menards was invaluable.
