hi lgbelsinore <br />My transformer has 50110 on it which I assume is the LGB cat no it is rated at 90va 18 volts the controler is 51070 and rated at 5A do not go less than that for power rating. <br />If you are thinking of the little all weather signal cabin/switch tower top looking controler <br />my advice is don't I have seen these blow up with frightenig regularity and heard a lot of stories of them blowing up. <br />The little controler that comes with the starter sets is good for that and nothing else <br />it will not even cope with a double headed short train where the two locomotives are LGB 2020's the little green one that is LGB's trade mark badge with no lghted coaches or caboose. <br />Once set up perminatly in the garden the disadvantage with the combination I use is that it will have to be mounted in a weatherproof enclosure so when not in use the door is shut and the transformer and controler are protected from the weather <br />regards John
