This is a good point! The former 'laptop' PSU I use for points is rated at 18-20V DC, not AC.

Taken from this link:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224277638861 ... eQQAvD_BwE
That link is not a Hornby P9001W PSU. It is some look alike PSU! Plus its providing a 15v DC output. The OP needs a PSU with an AC output. :o As per his post here... viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3726
The text for the product in the link twalton provides is where the original text at post #2 comes from. They've obviously mixed up text for some kind of jump started unit and the one in the link. I think they use of Hornby is simply to get found in a search on the Bay.
