Transformer Question

Depends on what your Lionel power pack is and what MTH locomotive you are running. The only problem I can see would be with a Lionel CW-80 power pack, which has compatibility issues, especially with PS-1. If you're not running either PS-1 or a CW-80, the odds are in your favor. It would help if you posted exactly what Lionel transformer you have in mind and what locomotives you plan to run under the tree.

I can tell you the CW-80 don't work with PS-2 engines by MTH. I tried it once and the PS-2 engine acted crazy with CW-80, was trying to go forward and reverse at the same time. Put the PS-2 engine with an older Lionel transformer and no problem.

Norn,

    If you need a good transformer for the Christmas season, I will meet you out at Eaten Park in Murrysville and lend you a KW or ZW to run your Christmas layout with, just let me know what you need buddy.

Merry Christmas!

Dave,

Thank you very much for your most generous offer.  My brother-in-law has me covered on this one.  I'll be getting a KW to do the job.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!
