Hi im going to build a layout with two fastrack loops on a 5 x 8 foot table.It will have some operating accessories including a lionel gantry crane for some action.Would the Mrc 270 watt transformer be a good choice for this size or should i look into more power? I have MTH and williams diesels and williams steamers. thanks for any advice.
The MRC 270 watt transformer should be ok with the Williams engines but the MTH if they have Proto Sounds 2 may not(not sure) like the MRC transformer. Williams engines should work with almost any transformer that has an AC output.
If you have any problems with the MTH engines I would suggest buying either the Z-750 or the Z-1000 by MTH. Please note; Lionel’s CW-80 won’t work with MTH PS-2 or PS-3 engines, the MTH engine will just sit there and act crazy with a CW-80, it is an elelctronic issue! All other Lionel transformers should work with MTH PS-2.
