Just fooling around, I decided to run all four of my LionChief Plus locos at the same time.   The entire layout is powered by a single CW-80 transformer.   Even with smoke units on, the CW-80 had zero problems.   This leads me to believe that the LC+ locos are very low power-demand machines.   Here is what was powered up drawing from the single CW-80:

Four LC+ locos, with smoke on, 3 steamers and 1 diesel.

Five lighted buildings

Six Lionel remote-control turnouts

Four Lionel lighted passenger cars from FT train sets

One RMT lighted caboose

 

I have to admit to being impressed that a single CW-80 can power all that.
