Does anyone have a digram of how to hook up the wires to the posts on the back of the transformer. I have been told 2 or 3 different ways, so I would like to see for myself. I have sent for Greenburgs repair book. Which I am told that has almost anything you need to know in it. thanks

When I get home this evening I will send you directions. Remember, you can run 2 seprate trains and 2 seprate accessories. You will not be able to run the bell from the transformer - just the whistle and direction changes.
I see you just joined today. Welcome. Is your e-mail in your profile? If not, let me know what it is and I can send the above to you off line. Of course someone may post something before I do - which is how things work here. We help out each other!
Also, only members can see your e-mail in your profile. People who are not registed can not see it. Helps to post it so if you have something a member can contact you directly if that is a more suitable means to resond to something. Up to you, but most have theirs posted.
If you send me an email I can send you the complete manual for the KW by PDF file.

Rob,
I have a paper copy somewhere in the house but it would probably take several days for me to find it. Could you please e-mail me the PDF file you have. My e-mail is in my profile. Thank you in advance.

I have a hard copy, so here it goes.
Look at the back of the transformer.
Reading LEFT to RIGHT, you should see:
U (left) U (right)
C D
A B
According to my instructions....
A + C = variable voltage of 0 to 14 Volts
A + U(left) =variable voltage of 6 to 20 volts
B + D = variable voltage of 0 to 14 Volts
B + U(right) = variable voltage of 6 to 20 volts
C + D = 14 volt fixed (like for accessories)
Hope that helps.
I think with a 'modern' train (ergo, something made in the last 20 years), using the "6-20 volt" combination will get you a bat out of **** effect when you turn on.
Others should correct me if I am wrong.
Regards.
Dont know how to look at your profile coach. It only shows me your post. email me at srfulton@bellsouth.net
Thanks for the help. I was runing it backwards but only for a short time.
Rob,
Sorry about that. I didn't realize I didn't have the e-mail address displayed. I have edited my profile and you can now find my e-mail address displayed in my profile. Again thank you for the PDF file.

Steve, I got the PDF via e-mail. Thank you for forwarding it to me.
Rob, thank you for supplying the PDF for those of us that could use it.
