Whew, what a topic description! Folks, my grandson is showing interest in HO trains....neat......
My situation is this: Living in Germany presents a different power source than found in the US. At 220V50Hz is the common source. So, does anyone know if the product (powered items like diesels, other "engines") motors (120V @ 60Hz I think) can somehow be modified to "work with local German power source"? Swapping out shells with German HO products sold can be expensive. I thank you in advance for any and all thoughts and solutions.
