Faller 140433 Jungle Train Roundabout Power Supply

[Dons]

I have just finished building the Faller 140433 Jungle Train Roundabout. The motor is 12 - 16v 60 MA. I'm having a heck of a time finding a power supply for it. Any ideas? Also, is there one that would allow me to control the speed. I need to go back to electronics class! Thanks!

You could try this one: it's a little low, so may not have enough to power it, or may just move slow, but you won't burn the motor: https://www.amazon.com/Reliapro-ACU...r=9NHV258CG5BN5TBSTH29&qid=1611604477&sr=8-16

Edit: Oooo, you did say 60 mA... whew, that's low. The one above might not be good. Is remotoring it to a US standard electricity feasible?

So, in looking at Faller's site, they say this transformer is for use on this product: https://www.faller.de/gb/en/Product...2/agid.1179/atid.1066/ecm.at/Transformer.html. The AC output amps at 16V is 3.15. Are you sure it should be 60mA? If it really does need only 60mA, you may need to put a resistor in-line to drop the current flow.

Kit link for reference: https://www.faller.de/gb/en/Products/Theme-worlds/Fair/Fair-H0/Jungle-train-Roundabout-sid7038.html

And then yes, the motor (https://www.faller.de/gb/en/Product...tronics/Synchronous-hobby-motor-sid12042.html) specifies 60 m A, but then references the above power supply. Might be worth asking Faller if there's built in resistance in the motor to step it down.

Thanks so much for all of your great ideas. Much appreciated!
