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)
