The new transformer spec is plenty ok for a 50W bulb and the
manufacturers claim it can be dimmed with a standard dimmer - but I
think at this point it would be an idea to replace the dimmer with a
standard light switch for now and get the lights working with that.
If they then work ok, you would need a new dimmer - the "Standard"
type is usually only rated at 250W max and as your 4 lights +
transformers would probably overload it - upgrade to a 400Watt type
that specifies it is suitable for dimming any type of low voltage
Halogens. See this guide -

Aha. So the buzzing from the switch indicates that the dimmer unit
isn't up to the mark, posibly. Cunning!

OK, I'll try that tomorrow, thanks.
