    Re: 1 speed regulator 2 trains and tracks —Dave Jost
   Not an expert in electronics....I think the regulator adjust to the amount of current that is drawn by the motors so two regulators would share the workload on the same system and if you add more motors on the same regulator it would just feed more (...)

   (...) Well, if you draw too much current thru your regulator, You'll most likely run into the limits of the wall-brick trafo thingy. Whgen that starts to get hot at prolonged use, beware :) Jasper Jasper (26 years ago, 5-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)

Good work by Lego, I guess. I'll open mine up one time and check :) BTW: (...) (26 years ago, 6-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)

   (...) snip (...) Hi All, To add to the complexity, with the introduction of 4519 crossover, will it be possible to have to separate train systems powered by separate controllers which crossover one another, once, twice etc. Mark H. (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)

   (...) Unless they have foolishly connected the two sets of crossing tracks. Now wouldn't that really suck :) Jasper (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)
