Hi all, I have a spare loksound 73199 decoder and was wondering about hardwiring it into a HO Proto sw9/1200, or a Walthers trainline GP-15. I’ve read that the loksound 58823 has 1.5 amps, but the 73199 only has 0.75 amps. Would this be enough in either HO locomotive or should I just wait to save up for the 58823?
. . .The engines will pull more but that’s just the way I run them so I’m not sure what it takes to stall them. Like John pointed out, they lose traction before the motor stalls.
sure, why not ??be sure to leave a little room so you aren't really close to the full amperage draw of the locomotive ..
