I just got this new transformer for my layout and thought I would try it on my main line. I thought it had the cut wave output and wanted to see how my smoke units smoked with it.
I will put out 17.67 volts on the digital fluke on the 20 volt setting. My poorest smoker was the target engine. It did not smoke near as well as my lionel type Z 250 watt at a 18.volt setting. The ac9 smokes quite well, not like a legacy but decent on the type z and poor on the gw 180. 4/10 of a volt cant make that much difference but the massive current capacity of the z must be the secret. Anybody want a good deal on a brand new GW 180 with 30 minutes use?
