So you've finally decided which new layout you want for your Bachmann model trains. You've carefully planned your train expansion and realize you must now consider expanding your power source. When working with any brand of train set, power packs play an important role.
Unfortunately, a starter train set is rarely sufficient for your goals and it doesn't take long to realize how much better the experience will be with a bit of additional power. Even worse is the fact some power packs aren't even afforded adequate protection against burnouts; which is a risk to your investment. With those thoughts in mind, we've put together a few buying tips and general guidelines that will help you decide the best power pack for your own train set.
So what exactly is a power pack's purpose in the world of Bachmann model trains? Simply put, power packs serve as rectifiers that alternate from A.C. to D.C. and they include transformers that monitor the voltage and incorporate a rheostat that works as a variable resister allowing better control over the speed of the train. Don't let this overwhelm you- the good news is all of the variables and formulas have already been incorporated into the many power packs on the market. Your biggest task will be selecting the right one for your needs.
Many enthusiasts will suggest incorporating a separate power source for accessories. If your model toys include many of the bells and whistles such as lights and the ability to switch machines, it's recommended your incorporate one of these separate power packs. It will eliminate the frustrating slowing of your train each time you command your other accessories. Ideally, a two amp power pack will serve the purpose, but at least consider a one amp pack. This will ensure fewer power surges and interruptions.
At this point, you may wish to consider adding a pulse switch. This allows half the A.C. wave cycle to be directed towards a rapidly pulsating D.C. One advantage to incorporating a pulse switch is the ability to better manipulate your Bachmann model train set at lower speeds while helping the motor to overcome friction. It's important to note despite the advantages of adding a pulse switch, there is always the risk of the motor overheating which might cause it to burn out. Although this isn't common, it's important to know the possibility exists. One way to avoid this is to ensure the gears aren't too tightly wound and sufficient lubrication is in place to avoid overheating.
Finally, as with everything else electrical these days, the world of Bachmann model trains has kept pace with the technological advances of contemporary times. Today's electronic packs are designed to release a quick first surge of power to get your model train set moving until it's receiving D.C. at higher speeds. The changes in the throttle determine spikes in frequencies, thereby ensuring a more realistic start with no jumps or shortages. Other new advances include throttles that you can move around with and radio controlled throttles that ensure complete control over your train set. You even have the option of command throttles that allow you to run multiple independent trains simultaneously.
As you can see, when it comes to train set power packs, plenty of options abound. It's not as overwhelming as it seems. Following these tips can bring any Bachmann model trains to their highest output for maximum enjoyment. A bit of knowledge will arm you as you begin the search for the right power pack that meets your needs.
