I just bought a GP9 from USA Trains and the only transformer I have is a the LGB starter pack transformer which only puts out 1 AMP. Will I damage the GP9 motor, lights, and smoke generator if I run it with the LGB starter pack transformer? I haven't tried running it yet, because I am nervous to damage it. I'm assuming it won't even get enough amps to run the motor, lights, and smoke together anyways.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good DC transformer for running the USA Trains GP9?
