Many years ago when N Scale came out, there was a need for an N Scale only power pack. One could not use HO packs unless modified with a resister. Is this still true? I ask because I am planning to add one of the BCH Minitrains and a coal mining line to the layout, and wondered if I needed a specific sized powerpack. I am still a dinosaur and rely on DC.
It depends. A few cheap power packs still use rheostats (variable resistance) to control the output voltage. In this case the voltage to the track depends upon the current passing through the rheostat. The higher the current, the more voltage dropped in the rheostat, and the less voltage available to the track (at the same rhoestat setting). Because N locomotives typically drew half the current of their HO counterparts before can motors became universal, an HO rheostat-based power pack would have difficulty controlling the lower speeds of an N locomotive. That's why the resistor was added.
Today's MRC power packs, and all but the low end trainset powerpacks have switched from rheostats to transistors or integrated circuits for direct control of voltage to the track. Within reason, different current draws will not impact the track voltage at a given power pack throttle setting. All MRC Tech series power packs from Tech 2 on feature direct voltage control.
One way to check is to measure track voltage with no load on the track. If the voltage varies smoothly with the throttle setting, you have direct voltage control. A rheostat with no load will have a high minimum voltage and little variability with throttle movement.

Thanks for the info. Yes I had some old powerpacks but over the years have gone to MRC Power Command 9500 for my layout. I have two walk around throttles connected to the DC and use the tried and true two cab block DC system.
Powerpacks form the solution for mobile track shoe applications. VTS Track Solutions always offers a total concept for powerpacks: VTS Track Solutions designs, develops and sells advanced powerpacks with different drives. We can provide you with electric powerpacks, electric-hydraulic powerpacks, electric battery powerpacks and fuel powerpacks.
VTS Track Solutions designs VTS powerpacks HPU and produces these in its own workshop. These are used to drive track systems and for other applications. Depending on the functions chosen, this powerpack HPU also provides the rest of the machine with the necessary energy, electrically or hydraulically. These functions are customised as required. The powerpacks HPU can be supplied in many versions: fuel-hydraulic, electric-hydraulic or fully electric, as well as a battery-powered version. The components used in the powerpack HPU are of Grade A quality and are available world-wide.
