I will be adding an 4A ECoSBoost to this ECoS, but I would also like to swap out the existing 18V ECoS power supply for the more recently supplied 50090 that goes from 14V - 21V. Any issue there, fully compatible? r/Thomas

A robust booster does all the difference: for ex. my ICE3/7 cars consist was a poor performer, no traction, dim lights...etc. Now, it climbs the 3% R3 spiral like a rocket! The Big Boy pulls 50 cars...as if it were nothing... Why did I wait this long to see the "lights"?? Cheers
