Seasons Greetings!
My Christmas present to myself was Lionel Prewar Outfit 242 E, with an extra matching 603 pullman.
Can I run the train on FastTrack with a CW-80 transformer?
Also can anyone tell me what the E-Unit lever positions are for forward/neutral/reverse, neutral and forward only?
Thanks
Tim

It should run Ok on Fastrack. The CW80 should also do the job.
The lever is actually a lockout, not a reverse lever. When pushed to one side, the reverse unit should in the Forward-Neutral-Reverse mode. Move it to the other side and the reverse unit is disabled to the direction it was last running.

Be careful. Your 259E will growl and heat up quickly with a CW80. I recommend a postwar or early MPC transformer.

Second this advice. The old trains just dont like the clipped AC power.
