The Hornby I have is spec'd as follows; <br /> <br />C912 Transformer (wall wart) <br />Primary: 230V - 50Hz (input) <br />Secondary: 16V - 13VA (output) <br /> (means its pulling about 16V / 13VA = 1.230769 Amps) <br /> (and 1.230796 * 220 = 270.76928 Watts max load no doubt) <br /> (40watt 110 to 220 step up converter from radio shack would <br /> eventually melt.) <br /> (we of course use 60Hz here in the US, means train will run a bit <br /> faster than on 50Hz but it'd work, don't crank it wide open too often <br /> or for long periods of time tho. [:D]) <br /> <br />Plugs into the; <br /> <br />Train Controller <br />Input: 16V AC <br />Outputs: 0-12VDC for train. <br /> 16VAC for accessories (lights and things) <br /> <br />My only question is; <br /> <br />Will an MRC Tech 4 200 or 220 work ok with it? <br />I find conflicting specs about both models on the web and the mrc home site doesn't list the specs for each model or I couldn't drill down to it. <br /> <br />If someone owns an MRC Tech 4 200 or 220, could you please post all the specs for them (input voltage, output voltage, etc...) <br /> <br />Thanks!
