Folks, I have the Lionel LionChief engine with FasTrack with "track transformer" no box transformer. Rather its a piece of FasTrack which accepts male plug from wall outlet.  I have added one lighted building, additional track, switch with little spur, lighted bumper, not a lot of juice pullers  I wouldn't think. But now engine stalls at times, have to wait until  I hear chuff sounds , see engine light come on.  Question:  do I need to purchase a traditional box transformer like CX 80 or perhaps add an accessory transformer to a piece of terminal track somewhere along the layout ?  In other words, is the LionChief "track transformer"  insufficient to supply enough power to the track as I expand it (increase pieces of track) and add accessories??

As always, many thanks. Guidance greatly appreciated!
