Hi, thanks for your reply, now I have another question if you can help. I bought the set on eBay and it came with the original Lego transformer but that transformer is from Britain and does not fit a US power outlet. I do have a plug converter that fits a US outlet and will connect to a British style plug, but I am unsure if this transformer will work with an American power supply as the voltage and frequency are both different (110 Volts and 60 Hertz in the US instead of 230 Volts and 50 Hertz in Britain). Do you know if the transformer would work on this different voltage and frequency?

Hi, I have a question about a power supply for the Control Center, after reading all this information I have found a power adapter at home, originally from a external CD drive that supplies DC power at 12 volts and 2 amps. It also has a symbol with a solid line over a 3 dashed line. It uses AC input 100 - 240 volt at 50 - 60 hertz and states it is L.P.S (limited power source) I believe this adapter would be ideal to power the Control Center as it delivers DC power at the right voltage and amperage, however I am hoping you can confirm or advise if it will actually work safely. Thank you.
