I'm using the 1.25 v supply that came with the SPROG II.

What would be an appropriate value and wattage?

Obviously this isn't a big problem, since I was able to read the
version number.

I am planning to eventually purchase the QSI upgrades for these locos,
especially the GP9, since the new version is supposed to have a
transistion effect. Are new upgrades version 7?

Thanks for the info,
