So you 100% HAVE GOT a '16 Volt A.C. output' wall-wart, right ?
Well nearly,
I have a 16 volt one but the connector socket is loose. So I used an 18 volt one.
I have a box full of various wall warts.
Maybe it must be 16 volt, or it will only go one way?
Like I say, it isn't that important. I can use the thing on a turntable or something.

Sorry Si,
I got a bit sidelined by other things.
I just got the transformers I have been playing with out of the box again.
Very embarrassed.
The 16 volt one which was broken is AC.
That is the one I was hoping would work for me.
The 18 volt one is DC.
I was sure it said AC, but it was after a beautiful dinner and a glass, or maybe two? of colonial red.
I MAY have misread it.
I am using the google thing to find a local supplier of 16 volt AC transformers.

Actually, last time I looked there, they didn't have any.
Strange, as they have pretty much everything.
I will drop in next time I am passing, which is often.
Thanks Peter.

Now, I don't know about the Botchmann "controller",
but I would imagine that it needs to have a DC power supply.
Unless the train is DCC, which has AC on the rails but is controlled by the loco's chip.
This little device is probably ment for a DC wall pack to make it work.
The thing seems to have forward/reverse and a "throttle"...
so, I think it needs a DC power supply.
If it isn't working correctly, I would find a better power pack.
I would prefer a better power pack anyway.
Look for an older MRC pack,
they can be found on fleabay, etc. for not much money.
These are only my opinions.
