Hello & Welcome to the Forum!

My advice is to buy the biggest transformer you can afford.
You might make changes in your layout in the future adding more track & trains.
Keep in mind the power draw for your individual trains and whatever accessories you may have/use.
So Go as big as you can... Use lots of feeder lines to insure your voltage is constant.

Happy Rails!
