I bought this in April 2023 from my local hobby shop and used it briefly to make sure it worked before putting it away to retrieve later for my train around the Christmas tree in December 2023. Worked fine and put it away in January when I put the Christmas stuff away. Got it out again last month to use again and it worked fine for a few weeks and suddenly it went dead. Thought I had a short somewhere and started taking stuff off the track, etc but the green light on the transformer would not light up at all - even after totally disconnecting it. DEAD. I spent a lot of money on this less than 2 years ago and now it doesn't work. I plan to ask the hobby shop about it, but what are my options? It seems like it's just out of warranty (or is it?) and past a normal return period, but it probably has less than 10-20 hours of run time on it. Grr.
