Thanks, folks. Yeah, I guess I was being a bit extreme or paranoid about this ! Live steam does sound pretty tempting though! (Hornby has actually developed some live-steam locos in 00 scale [similar to HO] but they're very expensive & still use electricity to heat the steam!)
I'll check the bottom of my transformers tonight. I do know that one is made by Railpower & the other by Athearn. And, yes, this is a DC layout.
Hopefully, some of these increases will be overturned -- at least we can hope they will!
In any case, if these increases are still going through (even if they're lower than 16%), there must be some good ways to reduce energy consumption.
On the other hand, it's been a very hot summer here and we've had our A/C cranked up!
