I think Don has the right idea here, so now I am trying to figure out how many amps to allow per Flyer engine. I am thinking 3 amps per Flyer is about right. Can anybody confirm that or offer another opinion? (Maybe somebody who has one of the ammeter-equipped transformers?) Assuming 3 amps times 15 volts, each engine would need (approximately) 45 watts or (approximately) 45 VA. Then the 60 VA box could run one Flyer engine, and a 150 watt Flyer transformer could run three engines.
