Suggestions for a Power Supply
I use Railpro’s PWR-56 for the power supply on my layout, and am pleased with it. But now I am planning a 2nd layout – sort of. This will be a simple loop that runs around our family room, just below the ceiling. One train, one track, no turnouts, no grades, HO scale. I will use my HC-2 to control the train.
As for the power supply, I understand that Railpro will run on any power supply as long as it fits certain criteria (I don’t know what these criteria are).
Does anybody know of a quality power supply that is significantly cheaper than RailPro’s, that will run my train?

You are looking for a 15 volt 2 amp regulated DC power supply. Many laptop power bricks fit this description. There are also numerous wall wart style units available. eBay is a good economical source.

I use a 15v regulated power supply that was recommended by Alan a few years ago. It works very well for my test track. I like that it's regulated. Keep in mind that you will have to clean your track more often, as opposed to the RP power supply.

Thanks for the info.

I too am curious why you say this.
