I've heard good things about the Meanwell S320-27 power supply for DCC use (it'd be powering an NCE PowerHouse Pro 10 amp system); any idea where I can order one & what typical price is?
What prompted this was finally getting my USA Trains Alco PA's converted for DCC; the conversion went fine, BUT when they're trying to lug that 5-car aluminum streamliner set up a 3% grade, they draw so much power that the ancient 100-watt American Flyer transformer I'm currently using just bogs down. The train DOES make it up the grade, but at the kind of speeds I normally expect from my Bachmann Shays/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/crazy.gif, rather than a scale 80 ~ 90 MPH!/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/laugh.gif Tom
