The image was shot from a Lionel catalog, not an actual "real" transformer.

May CTT Q&A on Lionel TW
Posted by thankey on Monday, May 2, 2011 11:14 AM

The image included on page 22 in the Q&A section of the May’s CCT is a little different from TW’s that I have seen.  The hookup posts / voltage look right on.  But the image of Lionel’s TW looks off for two reasons:

1)      the light between the dials is red not green

2)      the left controller looks as though it is a speed controller as is the one on the right.  My TW’s have the left to control the direction / whistle.

Is the CCT image another variation of the TW?  I know that there are some variants in the number of binding posts
