       if I add more track or more train cars to my out of the box
       lionchief set doesn't this require something more then the stock
       wall unit that just plugs in to the track .there saying you can
       run more then one train but never do they say about adding more
       power to the track

       bolou,
       Welcome to the Forum!
       You don't specify how many cars or how much track you'd like to
       add to your set.
       If you're adding track, you might want to consider adding feeder
       lines from your  transformer to various spots around the layout.
       This will help eliminate dead spots or low voltage spots.
       If you're adding cars, add a car & try it, add another car - try
       it again, keep adding cars until your locomotive begins to slip
       then remove the car that caused it to slip.
       Or
       You can use a spring scale and measure the tractive effort of
       your locomotive and an arcane formula.
       It's a whole lot easier just to add cars until the loco
       slips....
