    It’s the fifth one down the page and the order form link is right at the bottom :D
    Postage is about three pounds but it is pretty heavy, ESR are pretty quick to dispatch.

    Cheers,
    Hey Check Mate,

    thank you very much for the link. I ordered one. Perhaps, the e-licktronick guys could compile all the links to PSUs for UK, France and Germany in this thread on the Yocto page?


    Best,

    jmx

    I ordered this one, it should do:

    10 EUR for people in Germany it works out to about 15 EUR incl. shipping.

    I'm in the UK. I got one from ESR - seems ideal, and fast service - thanks seven.

    These apparently are used for train sets. Only minor issue is that the line plug is 2.5mm internal diameter whereas the PCB socket is a 2.1mm one. I've used an adaptor for now. I would be neater to change either the plug or socket. I couldnt easily get hold of a 2.5mm PCB socket with the same layout..

    Hi jaidee

    Thanks for the ESR link - I have just acquired a kit and needed a UK power supply, but could not find a compatible and reasonably priced AC-AC supply, despite checking many sites.

    Cheers

    I'm not too keen on PSUs with selectable outputs but perhaps I need to overcome my prejudices!

    It's not entirely clear from the photo whether this is a transformer or switchmode supply.

    Having done a bit more digging, I've noticed that my local supplier, ESR, has a 1500mA/16VAC supply for GBP8.50 which may be another alternative (it is a "line lump" rather than a "wall wart") - http://www.esr.co.uk/electronics/produc ... pplies.htm
