I am purchasing:
Model Number: 2793390 | Menards® SKU: 2793390
Which adapter is recommended or will either work. I bought 2000 mA (9.99) when purchasing the Hobby Shop and the adapter did not work. I am concerned the 5000 mA adapter is too much, my thinking is to get the 2000mA because another purchase is almost a done deal.

Yeah I got the small one to start with because that's all they had at the time. Last order I got the big one and the cable/cord extension kit! Will probably end up with more. Waiting on some Woodland Scenic's power stuff to get here too!

The new Menards power bricks are regulated, so having excess capacity will not "overload" anything, the accessory will only use the power it needs.
The old Menards power bricks were not regulated and matching them closely was far more important.
Gunrunner and Jim thanks for the information

I also will order Grandpas house. Have several building (Salt, P & L and a couple more) but no power adaptors at all. Was waiting to buy power to run several Menards units via a single power source.. What do I need to order to give plenty of power. Stock #'s if available. Thanks for your help. I can use a USA Army Jeep or 2. Thanks again

Just get the big power brick, it'll do several of the buildings.
Got it, the house, and a couple of jeeps.
Thanks

Menards offers three different supplies. Which one (or ones) are regulated?
Thanks,

All 3 regulated. If buying from a train-show clearance bin or whatever, carefully check the SKU #. As recently as last year Menards was selling unregulated adapters that look similar with similar mA ratings. They did have the sense to change the SKU #. If planning to power multiple buildings from one adapter, the accessory kit has splitters and extension cables.
I ordered the York Royale Hotel (arriving tomorrow). When I put in the order a pop-up recommended the 5000ma adapter listed above. I included it with my purchase. Menards also "threw in" a free 1:48 jeep. I am assuming that the Power Adapter I have coming is the right one for my needs. I also have the American Power Plant, but happened to be traveling through Indiana at the time so a store employee helped pick out an adapter for me. I don't know which one it is but it works OK!
