Well Im sitting here looking at 5 different transformers (power packs)and I think you'd be surprised. Their all listed as... <br /> <br />Input: 120v @50/60 Hz. <br />Output: 0-18 V.D.C.- 20 V.A.C. <br />Max Output 6 V.A. <br />2 packs are Tyco <br />1 pack is Life Like <br />1 pack is Bachmann (listed Ho/N) <br />1 is a MRC Trainpack <br /> <br />(Granted all but 1 has been used for Ho!!) <br />The MRC has a SLIGHT higher output rating (MARGINAL!!). I gathered the toy ones from when I was a kid, MRC is WELL known. Most "serious" models Ive seen use MRC, but it only matters to YOU!! I dont think you have anything to worry about,this power problem is something I never thought about. If you still have doubts drop by a local hobby shop, or ask the manufacture of the ENGINE. Good Luck and welcome to "THE WORLDS GREATEST HOBBY" Icemanmike2 - Milwaukee
