The transformer in the wall socket adapter probably won't be bothered too terribly, as it's only a 17% reduction in voltage. The motors don't try and suck (...)

| | | | | 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)

| | | | Actually, lowering the voltage would lower the current draw too with a constant load. Of course a motor is anything but a linear load, and it does tend to draw more current at slower rpm. In any case, you're not going to break it, since the 9v train (...) (25 years ago, 23-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
