Railsounds does though. I wish Lionel would realize they have customers worldwide and make their products compatible OR advertize that they won't work in 50hz countries. All the crap that has gone on for years and years with the CW80's, and it's taught them nothing. I've really gone right off Lionel.

Dave, although I fully agree that Trainsounds is a disaster with 50Hz, I do have to come to the defence of the CW-80. Any CW-80 with a QC50-OK sticker on the box/casing works perfectly on 50Hz. I think that it is a great little transformer.
