  Re: Any interest in high amp. Train controllers?
 
(...) I haven't worked with one in a while, but I know it'll take at least 36v in, and the limit on power is basically whatever you can handle as far as heat dissipation. So if you get the one in the big transistor-body package (TO-3, I think?) and (...) (17 years ago, 4-Mar-08, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Any interest in high amp. Train controllers?
 
I was poking around looking at LM317 specs and can't seem to find the Max Vin. What's the max Vin we can plug into the controller... I see old laptop "wall warts" and inline "bricks" getting tossed all the time here at work. If this alone helps the (...) (17 years ago, 4-Mar-08, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Any interest in high amp. Train controllers?
 
(...) I am not sure if it would work, but it may be possible to use a power transistor to increase the amps. The heat sink will need to be upgraded to a larger size, and a fan will definitely need to be installed to compensate for not just the (...)

  Re: Any interest in high amp. Train controllers?
 
(...) The main component that is limiting current in a standard train controller is the transformer (wall wart). The supplied transformer form LEGO has varied between 500ma to 850ma .5Amp and .85Amp respectively. That's continuous duty. You can pull (...)

  Call for Participation: Disney-Themed LEGO Display
 
A little back story first: GFLUG/GFLTC decided last year that a few of us will try to make it to NMRA in Anaheim in 2008 -- the attraction of making side trips to Legoland & Disneyland is just too great to stay away.

  Re: Any interest in high amp. Train controllers?

One of the big modifications I do is install a fan pointed directly at the source of the heat but the neat thing is the speed of that fan adjusts to the power setting of the controller while always spinning the correct way. I am also going to (...) (17 years ago, 4-Mar-08, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
 
  Re: Any interest in high amp. Train controllers?
 
(...) Hi Ondrew, More power sounds nice, but I'd be even more interested in a controller than can run high-load trains all day (such as at a show) without running hot. It sounds like you're advertising this benefit as well, so I might be interested. (...) (17 years ago, 4-Mar-08, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
