General Lionel Model Train Discussion / 14ft X 14ft track power?
« on: May 07, 2024, 12:43:14 am »
Hi, another new guy here...  Large track question.

I plan to install a train shelf that goes around the perimeter of the ceiling of a room.  14ft x 14ft.
HO scale.

I have little train knowledge.  I do know how to measure and calculate Volts, Amps, Ohms, Watts, and how to use a multi-meter.

Will a normal HO train set supply enough power for a loop this big? 

Or do I need to add another power supply? 

Thanks.

Okay thanks.  It's a large track.  I thought layout would be appropriate.  I will try over there.

Hi, another new guy here...  Large track question.

I plan to install a train shelf that goes around the perimeter of the ceiling of a room.  14ft x 14ft.

HO scale with the smallest minimum curve of 18-20in would make creating the shelf the easiest.

I have zero train knowledge.  I do know how to measure and calculate Volts, Amps, Ohms, Watts, and how to use a multi-meter. 

Will a normal HO train set supply enough power for a loop this big?  Or do I need moor...stuff?


Thank you train Gods!  (I have much to learn)
