Phasing applies to any AC transformer when there is more than one transformer. Modern, old, doesn't matter.

"How can you reverse the plug in the outlet when one blade is wider than the other?" Easy, break out your grinder, Dremel or file.

"or you have a 3 pronged plug" Then my friend- you have the wrong transformer. Time to rethink those life, I mean train decisions. Your train transformer and our track systems especially with Legacy or TMCC signal must be isolated. So any track or accessory transformer with a ground connector brings out more questions than it answers. The one exception is the small transformer to power a Legacy or TMCC base since it specifically needs the grounded plug for the base to properly create the signal and use your track.

Specific to the Lionel 180 Watt bricks, they sold a plug that would reverse polarity https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...r-for-180-watt-brick

IF there are 3 pronged plugs on transformers out there, as you mention, then it seems silly to rethink life and train decisions. These things exist that's why I asked.
