I just bought a used transformer at a flee market yesterday along with a bunch of switches, plastic buildings and a couple of bridges.
The transformer is a TAC 2001 by Troller Corp. of Chicago IL. It has two settings for track voltage; 0 to 9 volts and 0 to 18 volts, also has mulitple taps for accessory voltages. Has seperate whistle controls for each track. Tested it with a multimeter and it put out the proper voltages that were listed on the transformer.
My question, is it Williams compatible? ??? And can it safely work with other brands? If not, I will sell it at the train show in late January here in south Florida.

Well I tested the transformer and it works very well with the older SD-45's by Williams, had to reverse the leads to get the unit with the True Blast 2 horn to test both features of the T.B. 2 horn unit.
The plug is an older one without the polarized feature, so I know it's a few years old.
