Ah, thank you - so running two stalled train motors would exceed the NXT output,
but running one train motor up to a stall conditions should be fine. Out of
curiosity, along with the output limitations on the NXT (1 A) and RCX (500 mA),
does anyone have the output limitations (voltage and current) on the train
transformer?

(...) Some precisions here: - NXT stall current is 2A but only for a short time: internal thermal protection will trip at a current much lower than that (exact value depends on temperature and overload duration). A practical value is about 1A - NXT (...) (17 years ago, 8-Oct-07, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.robotics.nxt)
