FWIW: I have two LEGO train transformers that are labeled for an output of 12 VAC and two that are labeled for an output of 11 VAC. Both rate the power output at 7 VA. One of my speed controllers is labeled for an input of 9-11 VAC, and three for an (...) (25 years ago, 23-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

This means, that now when we have 230V in Europe (European Union standard as it is between 220 and 240V and whitin the limits), that it will be app 5% more ~almost 14V. I have never checkid it, but the 741 (740, 742) is only a transformer basically (...) (25 years ago, 23-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) who (...) tranformer (...) Your dad is correct. I'm not exactly sure why that port is provided except for testing or troubleshooting the transformer. 13V is also true of transformers here in the States. I've heard that 13V is used because (...) (25 years ago, 23-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

Okay, how's this for an idea: Most electronic stores stock a kind of universal power converter. These have several output settings, including 9v and 7.5 volt. If you use the 7.5 volt setting, the train never gets enough power to derail on curves. (...) (25 years ago, 23-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
