Total rookie question, so please bear with me! I have a Trix 21523 starter pack which, up until a few days ago, was working perfectly but now is totally kaput. Using a digital multimeter I've tracked back from loco to mains, and it seems that the problem lies with the Marklin 66201 power supply, which is apparently offering no current to the speed controller. Can anyone suggest a replacement unit that has a UK three pin plug? I appreciate that I need a 230v input/18v output unit but I'm not clear on whether amp rating is an issue - and I'm not all that keen on simply taking a punt and frying my entire setup. All suggestions gratefully received.

That's really useful advice - many thanks, Jean.
I was also a little surprised that the power pack has given up the ghost but nevertheless it's the only bit of the layout which seems to be an obvious culprit. I'll try the 'cut the wire' option and see what that tells me - nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Regards,
Andy

Hi Andy.

I am in the process of dismantling a friend’s layout. In amongst the transformers etc, there is a Märklin 66361.

It has the European 2 pin plug but with a travel adapter I think it could do the job for you.

I would need to sell it but I am sure it will be a very reasonable price plus postage

Kind regards

Hi Andy,

£15 including postage. Would that work?
Kind regards
