Beginners Q & A / LionChief PennFlyer and CW80 Transformer
« on: November 30, 2014, 08:19:42 pm »
Hello everyone.  I am a newbie here and practically a newbie with model railroading.  My 3 1/2 year old grandson has rekindled my passion for the hobby and I am building a 7x10 'around the room' layout that I plan to run two trains on.  I bought the LionChief PennFlyer remote set and am going to add another LionChief remote locomotive in the very near future.  I learned from some research that the power pack that comes with these sets will not power both trains.  My question is:  will the CW80 transformer handle two of these trains (about 5-6 cars each) as well as a lighted passenger car and lighted caboose?   I plan to add some lighted accessories down the road as well.  Please advise

Thanks in advance
Lonnie
