I talked to MTH and he said to run the engine on the app around and check the amps and see where its low then based on that I can either add a lockon in that vicinity to help out. He said the 180 Lionel should be enough to do my 8x12 layout. I really dont want to solder anything in case I change the layout later which is probably what I will do.
