Dave is correct - you do NOT need the 2.5 Sprog for programming -
BUT - When doing installs on O Scale locos and then test running
them the power from the Sprog 3 is a big help.
Last week I re-motored an O scale Challenger using a WOW 5 amp
decoder. The extra "oomph" is a big help. Currently on the bench a
brass O scale SD70ac with same size decoder.

Thanks for the suggestions all. I think
from reading the various replies I¡¯ll have to bite the bullet (
or whatever the train analogy is) and buy the Sprog 3 with the
2.5 amp output. I inherited the one I have so I don¡¯t know how
old it is. With sound decoders getting more and more complex,
and using more power, pretty soon we¡¯re going to need small
reactors to power stuff.
