Title: Transformer Recommendation
Post by: TigerTrains on July 23, 2013, 10:51:26 AM
I would appreciate a transformer recommendation to power the Williams Norfolk & Western Blue Ridge Hauler Freight Set and operate the "True BlastII Whistle & Bell" features on a small layout.

Is the Lionel AC Control CW-80 Transformer compatible with Williams?

Tiger trains,

                I run a Christmas holiday display in the lobby of one of the office buildings that I am in charge of. ( 5' X 10' double loop layout ) I have been using the Lionel CW-80 for two years now with success.

I use either the MTH Z-1000(100 watt) transformer or the post war ZW by Lionel.
The MTH transformer has both the bell and whistle features, and able to power a nice size layout with lighted passenger cars.
