![]() Operate your favorite features with the bell, whistle/horn and directional buttons. From the handsomely designed controller, reminiscent of the famous Lionel ZW, control speed and power by raising and lowering the engineer handle. LIONEL O CW-80 80 WATT TRANSFORMER TRAIN NEW!īRAND NEW!!! Enjoy operating your favorite locomotives, train sets and accessories with the CW-80, 80-Watt transformer. Here's the add on the transformer for sale. I just don't want to buy this transformer and find that isn't the issue. Thanks for any and all advice thus far and in the future. ![]() I'm no electrician either as you can tell. This add states it has 0-18 volts as well which It looks like mine already has? It states this 0-18 is variable AC and from what I can tell the DC is what runs the track. There are several new Lionel Transformers on ebay with the following add found below. 0-18 VDC, with a maximum output of 5.5 VA, at least that's what it says on the top of the transformer. The transformer is a Lionel Hobby Transformer #4065. There aren't any other options on the transformer short of forward and reverse. ![]() The transformer is a simple little slide bar that activates it. ![]() It acts as if it doesn't have enough juice to actually run the motors. engine on the track by itself and the lights come on but the train doesn't go. We do not have an established track set up at this time so we put together a small oval 3' by 6' roughly and set the new diesel U.P. It does have a run switch on the bottom also. It also has lights and lighted little number areas along with a horn. It appears to have two engines and I think the sale add also stated this. We just purchased the UP engine via ebay and it is in like new condition so I'm assuming there is nothing wrong with this train. We purchased a lot of extra Lionel 0-27 track which is the same as the starter set from what I can tell. We have the little starter set with the steam engine and 5-6 rolling stock behind, this set up runs fine. With that in mind I'll try and explain where we are at in a little more detail. When you say they aren't compatible on the same track I'm assuming you mean I can't run the two together. they aren't compatible on the same track. The starter set engine is NOT command control I'm sure. There are track systems that let you build layouts where the track almost looks real (I mean, there's a third rail in there, after all). There are command control systems that let you control the train by remote control. There's a lot of stuff out there in this hobby these days the times have never been better for O gauge. Others here can certainly tell you the K-Line transformer model number.Īs far as other things to expect, well, that's entirely up to you. K-Line also makes a transformer that outputs 120 Watts, but I'm not sure what it's called. This outputs 80 watts of power & will probably be enough to power that UP GP-9 set. Lionel makes a transformer called the CW-80. As you've guessed, you'll have to upgrade to a bigger transformer. Starter sets generally come with 40 watt transformers, which, as you've found out, don't do much more than power the set that they came with. Sounds like your new UP diesels are scale size, while the starter set you bought are what's called "traditional scale."
