I had a CW-80 from a starter set purchased last year that I had been using for my guest bedroom around (& under)-the-bed FasTrack layout. I had just gotten a CAB-2 & base several weeks previously and had been running LEGACY without issue. The base was linked into the track using a different terminal track piece from the transformer. The track is a simple loop, with no switches, sidings, or accessories. Only one train has been run at a time. I was running a LEGACY engine (Polar Express K-4) pulling 8 Menards boxcars and a caboose. The throttle was set around 90%-100%, as I was using LEGACY. All seemed well, and then suddenly the green light on the transformer went out and everything stopped. I tried removing the train as well as using a different engine, disassembling the track, and even plugging in the transformer alone, but it never seems to have power - the green light stays off. This was/is true using multiple outlets around the house, so it's not a bad outlet or a breaker that needs reset.
As I don't see any type of "reset" button on the transformer, am I correct to assume it's not a simple fix? Did I blow up the transformer and give myself the excuse I needed to get a Power brick several months early? Was I inappropriately using the transformer, or would this still be covered under the warranty? Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
