May Switch To 2 Rail from 3 Rail - Need Help!

I used Celotex.  Most of my track is handlaid on wood ties.  One section of plastic tie Atlas flex track is dramatically quieter than the wood tie sections adjacent to it.

Quietest railroad was Milt Sorenson's.  He used Tru Scale, but underneath that a strip of old rubber outdoor carpet.  Dead quiet.

I am having trouble figuring out the power supply needs for a modest size 2 rail set up, what power source do you prefer and how large, etc thanks

Since all my 2-rail were can-motor equipped, I just used my MRC "Controlmaster V" or Heathkit unit (left over from my old HO days) and they worked just fine. I'm sure some here will say you need something more robust, but I never had any issues...

I use the very robust and reliable MRC Controlmaster 20's. They will run anything in two rail. The MRC 6200 is another good,reliable and inexpensive choice.
