I'm a complete rookie, putting together a ceiling track layout, for my small print shop /office. I want to run one locomotive around a 12 x 24 single loop with 6-8 cars. There will be a secondary track on one straight but that will be just for display. No switches. My train is a TMCC locomotive and 5 lit passenger cars (bought off the forum here). I will be adding some accessories like billboards (10 or so), maybe a couple of gates etc. I've read up on creating a bus etc.
I'm confused where to start for a transformer. Most descriptions for the transformers use words like "small" or "medium" layout. I'm not sure which category mine falls into. I don't really want to get into a full on TMCC or legacy set up, but I'd like to be able to turn the train on once in a while, when I am working, and use the whistle. I love the idea of using a vintage or vintage looking transformer. I'm really not sure where to start as far as size and model.
Thanks.
