Scaley Digital PSU

G'day all,
I was wondering whether anyone here on the forum can tell me if its possible to use either a UK/USA digital transformer for the new 6 car APB with an adaptor for use in Australia. I have a few items round the house that have these adaptors and they work fine. Are all the transformers themselves identical with different plugs for the different regions of the world or are there any differences? Any help with this would be great.
Thanks
Matt

Both UK and Australian mains voltage / frequency are nominally 230v and 50Hz, so appliances built to UK standard will work in Australia if fitted with the appropriate plug.
Mains electricity in the USA is 120v and 60Hz, so few appliances built to USA standard will work in Australia without a transformer.

This link is a useful guide to mains electricity in different countries.
