Lionel 1033 Voltage
Posted by guitarman1994 on Wednesday, February 6, 2013 8:01 PM

What is the constant voltage output to the track for  the 1033? 

Thanks,

Brody

It's 16 volts if you're using A for the common, 11 volts if using B.

So it wouldn't work to use this transformer with TMCC?

Personal experience has shown that TMCC works just fine with a ZW, and not so much with a 1033.  I'd advise using a transformer you know has the "guts" to do the job.

With about 65-70 watts continuous output, the 1033 would be marginal at best for running TMCC equipment.
