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!
 
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.
