Like the title says... I have a Type 1011 transformer I got in a recent haul. I'm also trying to get a setup for my best friend's 9 year old son. I got him a Lionel branded Polar Express set our museum was tossing because it was missing a tender (the cheap $50 battery operated set, not the nicer Polar Express). Anyways... I also have some basic starter sets (the kind that probably retailed for like $99 originally back in the 90s). Are those sets AC or DC? And is the Type 1011 an AC or DC transformer?
If that transformer is not the right output, what would y'all suggest? I'm looking for something cheap, obviously. I was going to set him up with some 027 track that I know I won't be using anymore.
Oh, and before anyone asks... no, I don't have my Fluke multimeter handy, otherwise I'd check it myself (I misplaced it somewhere).
