<p>Your engines do neither run on 110V, nor on 220V. That was back in 1900+, but using household AC for toy trains was outlawed in the 1920.</p> <p>Your DCC system runs on 14V - 16V DC, which is transformed from 110V AC via a transformator and rectifier. Both are incorporated into a wallwart these days.</p> <p>Amazon in Germany sells about any type of wallwart you may require to connect your DCC station to the 230V AC in Germany. The things you have to look out for are:</p> <ul> <li>correct size plug</li> <li>correct voltage</li> <li>correct ampere rating</li> </ul> <p> The manual of your DCC command station should tell you this.</p>
