I'd email TOC and ask him what the max current draw is from his testing.
I do not believe that it is very high, especially being a geared loco. I have not converted mine yet, so I don't know. I try not to use 3 amp decoders unless they are really rugged because most G scale locos can pull more than this in a full stall. It's rare, but a couple more bucks for a beefy decoder is cheap insurance in my mind.
Let's look at the entire conversion, are you going to put sound in also? Do you have a short list of what you are thinking of in electronics?
Regards, Greg
