Reply to "TIU not providing power"

I'm out! You're asking the wrong guy here from my standpoint. Talking to me will cost you extra! I like extra power.

I have Bridgewerks DC packs powering my G scale. I have 25 and 30 amp supplies outside for the 2 mainlines. I have a smaller one inside for G scale that's maybe 20 amps?

My O scale 2 rail runs with 4 Lionel PH180 bricks AC and a MTH Z4000 AC on the upper 3 rail loop.

I don't run HO scale. If I did, the way I like to run big, long consists, I'd have extra power. I'd figure at least 2 trains with five engines each. I'd have to figure out what each engine with smoke on draws and multiply by 12 for spare power. At that point I'd be using at least 2 channels so each pack would have around 8 amps? ( rough guesswork here)
