MTH Subway Problem
Posted by pdxtrains on Saturday, July 23, 2011 2:43 AM

Friends:

 

I have an R12 Subway from MTH which I love.  It works great in manual mode (sounds, etc.)  but I cannot get it to switch to auto mode.  Now, I am using the Lionel CW80 transformer, but I don't think it's that.  Anybody else have a problem?

Problem solved. It WAS transformer. You must use an MTH. Electronics!

CW-80 does not play well with MTH.

And yet, my Pennsy passenger steam set (MTH) does just fine with the CW 80.  Go figure!
