Hi Brian,
I got a low voltage of 1.5 and a high of 7.2. I was using a cheap multimeter,
so I cannot say if it is continuous, but it certainly has that feel when running
a train. The voltage was very unsteady (the multimeter is fine, it reads steady
with the new power regulator), so I cannot confirm that the 12 V transformer
delivers continous voltages.
