Accessory Power Management Question | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

BobRoyalsOGR Forum Member

Good Morning,

I have a Lionel Intermodal Crane. It needs more juice. I have it hooked up to a CW-80 through an MTH 24 port terminal block. I don't want to set the CW-80 any higher than it is for the sake of my lights, etc. So should I just hook the crane up to one of my track power CW-80's and max it out on the power settings? Thanks in advance.

The CW-80 has two adjustable outputs - set one for your crane and the other for everything else.

Oh, and skip the MTH terminal block for the crane.

Lionel also has this if you need/want a totally separate power supply for your crane.
