Transformer advice

(1/4) > >>

savvas:
Ladies and gemtlemen, i would like to have an advice about the purchase of a transformer. I have a train system thats consists in steaming mary and 10 more cars. unforunately, my playmobil transformer has not suficient power and the train runs slowly. I would like to pass to a lgb tranformer, can you advise me of a model? Europe, 220v, no need for signs and other stuff, just pure traction. Is 50110 suitable?

Thank you

playmofire:
The Playmobil track-powered locos were designed for up to 14 volts.  The 50110 is 18v and designed for DCC trains so you may damage the loco using it.

As regards train lengths, the Playmobl train catalogues show a maximum of five wagons being drawn by a loco.

savvas:
So, it means that more cars cannot been added, right?

savvas:
Also another question. Can i add a 2nd motor/tractor for more power?

No, you can add more cars but it may mean that the motor isdamaged if the weight is too much or you run it too long with a lot of cars.
