Okay, here's an electronics question from the... let's say I'm more mechanically inclined...
If I have a power supply setup as shown here - 2, 12V 2A power supplies in series powering a bus around my layout to feed DC needs... Do I have 2amps or 4amps?
While we're at it, can someone tell me if I've got this right...
one turnout power consumption on my layout = 1 tortoise @ stall = 16 mA, 4 LEDs (two on control panel, two for signals) = 20mA each = 80 mA, = 96 mA total per turnout.
In other words, I'll need roughly an amp for each 10 turnouts?
If that's true, anyone care to recommend a good source for a 10amp+ DC power supply? Preferably that doesn't cost $200 like the ones I've seen...
