Since I'm new to Lego trains (bought my first Lego train set last week #4511 +
an extra #10158 car), I'm wondering exactly how powerful the little motor that
comes with the set is. It seems to have no problem moving the 3 cars that I
currently own around its short circle track at high velocity. But I want to
expand that set, mainly by adding 2 more #10158 passenger cars, and an
additional #10157 locomotive. Will the one 9V motor be enough to pull/push that
many cars around, or should I invest in a second motor for the tail locomotive?
Can the standard train speed regulator provide enough power for two motors over
a large quantity of track?
Any help or previous knowledge in the matter would be great.
Also, I'm looking to tray and motorize the track switches using technic motors
and add a constant 9V power source to control them, is there an easy way to do
such a thing?

| (...) Welcome to .trains (...) That makes 6 cars total? 2 engines and 4 coaches? I'd get a second motor. (...) Most people have found that the speed regulator can power two motors without a problem. In fact many people goes as high as three motors (...) (19 years ago, 25-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains)
