Is this a Lionel Transformer?

That's a TW, or most of the parts for one. 175 watts.  Basically two 90 watt 1033's in one case.

Yes, the "Trekie" transformer.

If you look at the handles on one you will know what I mean!

CORRECTION: the SW was the "Trekie" transformer, not the TW:

I’m looking at the handles and I don’t know what you mean.  Are you referring to the stop blocks sticking up ?  Please explain !

Correction:   Okay, your post came through as I was typing.

Another version of TW. The 175 watts is not available for track power only 90 watts its a strange design.

That's a TW. The knobs are not Lionel. The TW identification plate is missing. The U post needs to be replaced. The power cord needs to be replaced. May as well replace the CB while you are inside.

Be careful how you incorporate this xformer into your layout! As others have stated, it's a weird design. If you use common ground wiring, don't try to get 14 v from the pairs labeled as such! You will end up with a floating ground, which is bad news. Don't ask me how I know this...

Chris,  thanks for your advice.  I don’t think I’m interested in rebuilding this transformer as I have enough modern transformers and a few extras.   I don’t remember how I even acquired this one.
I think I’ll list it on the for sale forum as ( Free Transformer parts only. )

I never understood the TW's 25V option , other than it was possible. What could you possibly power with those on a layout.

Standard gauge with a rheostat.

90 watts input to the track side core... more like 65 watts available to the track.
