Command Base replacement power source? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

The transformer for my Trainmaster Command Base died. The output was 12vac 100ma. Does anyone know of alternatives available to replace it?

Thanks,

Brian

The best solution is to order a replacement from the Lionel website. There is an important special jumper that will not be present in a generic AC wallwart.

This is a tough one.

The power supply for the command base needs to have a ground pin for the power receptacle, which most wall warts do not have.

I have tried a few alternatives with no luck.

If you're really desperate, you could wire your own ground to earth ground, but I'd take Dale's suggestion and just order one from Lionel. Some of the parts dealers may have one at a slightly better price and/or cheaper shipping.
