The LEGO power supplies all produce AC current, while most interchangable power
supplies that you'll find produce DC current. I know this can overload and burn
out the bridge rectifiers on the RCX 1.0, but I don't know if it'll be
problematic for the train regulator. Honestly, though, you'll probably be able
to find an official LEGO power supply on Bricklink for a lot less after S&H than
you can buy one at Radio Shack. When I bought one for my digital camera, I
think it cost me $25.

| (...) If I were to get the UK version, all I would need to get would be a pin converter to work with Australian sockets - is that correct? We have 240v, and if I understand correctly, that is all that is needed for it to work. (17 years ago, 20-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains)
