Actually your NCE PowerCab is 2 amps, but the voltage is too low.

You need a booster, and you can get/make one easily.

read this page: Portable DCC System

note you can get the DC power supply for almost nothing, 19v is a typical laptop voltage...

Every few years they make improvements, and clearly the big one is the gearbox.

the new one has the socket also, which will help for people who want sound and/or DCC

The Bachmann forum is back, and the comments on the new one are there to read.

The ball bearings on the axles is news to me... do you have a link/reference to this being stated?

That's great stuff, finally! No wonder the list price is so high, but it's their most popular loco.

Thanks!
