I'm planning to use this http://www.bakatronics.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=581 motor control, this http://www.radioshack.com/product/index....nsformers# transformer, and this http://www.radioshack.com/product/index....Id=2062583 rectifier to run a G scale engine. The manufacturer (USA Trains) confirmed in an e-mail to me that the engine requires 2.5 amps. The engine has two can-type motors.
I have about 145 feet of track in a single loop. No other engines/ track accessories will be run from this circuit. My question is what amperage any type of circuit breaker should I use and where in the circuit should I mount the breaker? If possible, I'd rather not use a fuse.
Any information, guidance, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
