I am new to this hobby, but I just purchased a MTH Switcher with PS2 - got it home and tried to test it on an old K-Line 20 Watt transformer - got nothing.
I have a K-Line Steam Engine, a MARX Steam Engine and they run OK on it.
The K-Line has an extra box for the whistle that I have to wire to the transformer.
I need to buy a better transformer to operate the MTH I guess and I am wondering if I should but the Lionel CW-80 or the MTH Z1000 ???
Looks like I can get the Lionel CW-80 on Ebay cheap.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
