subject says the question

the shell for the transformer seem interesting to me, why I even could
accept an empty case to put my own transformer in hehe guess I'm just
going dream as usual

because for now for some years my trains have had to run off a Tech II
controller but at least its been better than nothing still, right?

It seems that 740 was for 240V and 742 was for 100V.  The 741 could be
for both 100V and 240V:

didn't realize there was a blue one too....

I was actually refering to the later gray one especially with the
knob/throttle control on top.

no harm anyhow still :-)

[ please don't top-post ]


That one _is_ nice.  I have the 240V version.  Have you searched
<http://guide.lugnet.com/>  for a 100V version?  I would be surprised
if it only existed in a 240V version, when the preceeding one existed
for both markets.

Play well,

Jacob

I would think that pretty much any 12V transformer would work - get one for
an HO or O guage railway.  You'll have to lash up your own track connectors
but even superglue does that job OK.
