I am looking for a Lionel “168 Controlloer for ‘Magic Electrol’”, needed to operate one of my older locomotives. If you can help, please respond here.

Thanks!

Do you know that the “magic electrol” just steps the e-unit in response to the whistle controller? You shouldn’t really need anything special to run the locomotive. See http://www.toytrainrevue.com/relay.htm

I couldn’t find a listing for a 168 Controller. Could it be the 167, 167C, or 167S whistle controller?

I have seen references to a “168”. My guess is that it is just a whistle controller relabeled for Magic Electrol.

THANKS, FOLKS! My first trip to this forum paid off quickly – I don’t need the controller at all since the whistle controller on my ZW works quite nicely to change direction on the loco in question. Thanks again.
