Thanks. I asked thinking you might have been able to raise the track voltage. Hopefully that might have lowered the amps.
I see you can't. I run my outside G scale higher and that shows lower amp draws on the meters. I have run five diesels in a consist with surprisingly lower amp draws like this. I remember when I first got a USA trains G scale diesel. I thought it was power hungry. After installing DCS inside and raising the track voltage, it's no problem at all.
