Reply to "Track power"

Casper, it sounds like what you currently have is sufficient...you're only consuming ~half of the available amperage of the CW80? If you simply want more power (ie watts), you have a lot of choices, depending on how much you want to spend. Here are some lower $$ ones...

Consider a 180W PowerHouse "brick" (Lionel # 6-22983) and a TMCC direct lock on (#6-34120) for your outer loop to essentially double the power available. You will NOT be able to run conventional on that loop with this setup as this supplies a constant 18VAC, non-variable. Retail for the pair is ~$200.

I'd probably just stick with the CW80 for your inner, conventional loop. Again, if you want more power consider the GW-180 (#6-37947), which is a controller like the CW80, except its powered with a seperate 180W "brick." Retails ~$260.

MTH offers great options as well...I'm not trying to be a Lionel only spokesperson!
