Hello everyone
I have a question re: the above usage of these transformers. I'm looking to see if they are suitable for powering a standard Hornby 2 rail type DC small layout?
Cheers Shannon

The output of transformers is always AC.
Extra parts are needed to operate a DC layout. And the reversing voltage could fry analogue DC locos.
Better get a suitable DC controller. |

No worries, I do have a few DC standard transformers just thought this may serve a dual perpose with my existing Marklin and the dc stuff
