I have a Bachmann 2-6-0 Kansas Central #102 Mogul that will be battery powered. I don't expect to have more than 6 oz of battery. I plan on pulling a jackson sharp full baggage car, jackson sharp coach, and caboose. I'll have a  RCS R/C system with P5t sound. The largest grade on my line is around 3%. What is the max amp draw I can expect if I'm also running loco lights?  Comments on MyLargeScale forum suggests around 1 amp.

Try asking on the Large Scale Central forum.

A good bunch of knowledgable folks over there.

Hope this helps.

If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.

It can't be more than an amp,  Mine running on track power up a 3 % with lights on but no smoke draws less than half an amp more lie a quarter amp.
