Bob his bio says Chile
Thanks, but I thought that Raddiver might have quoted the original poster, masterphots, who is in Chile but hasn’t posted in a while, because he had a similar problem. He didn’t leave much information (“Hello”), unfortunately.
Bob,
Just getting started with an O-scale setup myself here in the Netherlands, (military and stationed overseas) and purchased a Williams/Bachman train that I would like to run from 220V/50Hz. This thread looked interesting, but I couldn’t find a solution to the issue. Since most european voltage adjustable transformers are made for HO and too low in power output for an American O-scale train, or are DC, and larger current handling transformers in the US aren’t safe to run on 50 Hz, what could be a possible solution; other than converting to DC and back to AC at 50 Hz. Is there a manufacturer of a transformer out there that makes a transformer which will work in my case? Thanks for your help!
If you’re trying to run a simple locomotive (no digital stuff), the Lionel RW250 (100 watts, 220 to 250 volts, 50 to 60 hertz) that I mentioned above might be the easy way out, if you can find one. There is a never-used one on Ebay right now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lionel-Postwar-RW250-100-Watt-Transformer-Boxed-Lot-2521/112724601914?hash=item1a3ee8ec3a:g:DF8AAOSwNchaSUwK
