       confused

       Hi all having just purchased my first lionel train i thought it
       would be good to join this forum.
       My purchase is a polar express o gauge lioncheif [6-30218] for
       my sons birthday as i live in the UK i know power would be a
       problem US 110v @ 60hz  UK 240v @ 50hz  and did not want to go
       down the route of inverter and bench top power supply.
       After researching my options i discovered on the lionel support
       page the manual for the lioncheif polar express [6-30218] which
       states the transformer ratings as input 120-240 VAC 50/60hz  so
       decided to purchase this version, unfortunately on opening i
       found a transformer  model HKYF36-180175T-US INPUT AC 100-120V
       60HZ 0.5A  OUTPUT DC 18V 1750MA 31.5VA  no mention of 240 v or
       50hz as described in the users manual.
       Can anyone please help with this confusion ???
