The limitation on the train controller is the wall wart - not the controller
itself. There was discussion on this in .trains a while back. Someone built
a tranformer box with about 3A output IIRC, and ran several trains with it
through an un-modified controller. There was someone else that actually
modified the controller rectifier with higher rated diodes etc, and added a
fan, but that's probably only necessary for prolonged use.
