Post Christmas with the Polar Express around the tree we began to have problems with the train.  Plugging in the CW80 it's green light came on and never flickered but pushing any and all buttons and turning up the throttle produced no results.  No lights came on in cars etc....  After messing with it for a little bit it (Continuing to push buttons plug and unplug repeatedly as only a 9 and 11 year old boy can do) it would begin working flawlessly again.  I was trying to figure the issue out again yesterday and suspected dirty track but after cleaning it still no results.  Took a new CW80 out of the box changed it out and no problems.  

 

Anyone else have this problem? I searched on here but couldn't find anything.

Are you saying the original transformer didn't work? Lionel will replace it under warrranty, if you get it touch with them. I believe they ask you to cut the cord off and send them just the cord  and they will send you a new transformer.

 

I believe some have had problems with these transformers.
