My grandson has a Lionel T.V. Car that will not operate. He has a figure 8 and when the power is turned on, the CW 80 transformer does nothing but keeps the green light blinking. When this car is removed, everything works fine. I tried another transformer, the 1033 but it still does not operate. What could be causing this car not to operate. It is new so that is not the problem. There were a few times that it started to work but then shut down. I was wondering if the 90 used in the figure 8 is causing the problem. I will leave it up to someone who can give me some other ideas.

Thanks,

Nick

It sounds like the car is shorting out, check the wiring going to the truck where that has the roller assembly and see if either wires are touching or if if the pickup roller is touching the ground wire. The wires may have been pulled together when the car was packed away. Good luck, Nick
