Default Re: Using an electronic transformer for a model tram motor?

There is no such thing as an electronic transformer, it is a made up term by manufacturers or distributers who don't know what a transformer is. (A device which changes voltage or current by magnetic induction, [or doesn't in the case of isolation transformers]).

Electronic halogen lamp drivers are a (poor) form of switch mode power supply which need a minimum load to work. No way can you rectify and smooth the output as you desire.
