Red,

Watts = Volts x Amps so:

Watts = 18 x 1.8 (Thomas Tk. Set data)
Watts = 32.4 say 32 watts total.

Hope this helps.

Converting Volts to Watts?
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, February 15, 2004 5:24 PM
I have a transformer that came with my sond Thmas teh tank engine set. It is listed at 18VAC and 1.8 A. Can someone help me translate this into watts? I am having a hard time with watts vs amps vs cycles and want to know if the output here is closer to my postwar 110 or 45 Watt transformer. Does that make sense? [?]
