QUOTE: Originally posted by Roger Bielen I am not familiar with the #1047 train set, my Greenberg's Price Guide shows this number as an accessory. In general the vast majority of Lionel trains operate on AC voltage and any O-gauge transformer of suffiecient wattage should work. You are not limited to the Lionel brand, those from others, K-line, MTH, etc. should work. In general, 80 watts +/- seems to be the standard supplied with many current starter sets. Good luck.
