Basic HO train transformers are typically unregulated DC so you may need to add a capacitor and fuss with the throttle position to make it play well with the isolated DC-to-DC converter modules being discussed.
For about $2 on eBay you can get a 12V DC-output regulated wall-wart. Another 50 cents gets you a female screw-terminal adapter so you don't have to splice the cable.
Or. If you don't want to mess with finding a spare wall-outlet, for about the same cost you can use an AC-to-DC voltage regulator module to generate the 12V DC from a train transformer's AC Accessory output.
