Hi Alan, (...) Given the fact that 12V trains were never officially sold in teh US, this seems natural. (...) You can buy a 220V transformer and use a converter with it. Get a 30..40VA 110V-to-220V converter, or a more powerful one if you plan to (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I don't know much about non-lego model railroading in 110V countries, but if these use 12V DC output as well, you may consider using a non-lego model railroad transformer (check if it supplies enough power). Niels Living in a 220V country, and (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) A 12V transformer supplies full wave rectified power (humps on an oscilloscope). Mine puts out up to 14.7 Volts no load to the track. The "DC" to the switches is also 14.7 Volts max. There is an AC output that gives 17 Volts AC no load. (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains)

I just acquired a 12v train set but it did not come with a transformer. Can anyone provide advice about how to get one that works with a 110v outlet. The ones listed on Bricklink all appear to be 220v. Can the 220v variety be adapted to a 110v? I (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains)
