(...) The RCX motor outputs are officially 0.8 amps each. This will just drive 2 train motors lightly loaded as I think the RCX DCC folk will confirm. The Lego train controller is good for about 1.5 amps and can thus handle 3 motors and 4 if they (...) (21 years ago, 31-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains)

We at LUCNY run long trains - 6 wide - but often 30 pieces of stock long. Our experience is you have to have a rear driver else the magnetic couplings are likely to give out. We have never had problems with the pusher squeezing the intermediate cars (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains)
