Can anyone tell me what transformer came with this original set? The set box has it listed as a UL Transformer, with a power-pack rating of Input 120 VAC 60hz only, DC Output 12VA total.

The 4060 was furnished with the set.

Have another question related to my #1072 Cross Country set. I have the set but it didn't come with any of the original 027 track, box lists  8 curved track section and 6 straight section make an extended oval layout 54"x27". Would like to use the original track if possible but not sure what part numbers to get 5033,5038, 5113, 5501? Wondering if you might know?

It would be difficult to track down track by catalog number as it's not marked. What you are looking for is the solid brown tie 5038/65038 O-27 straights(6) and 5033/65033 O-27 curves(8) made in USA(pre ChiCom production). They were packed in the box bulk style and not individually packaged.

I'm not sure if these are really different in any way from the 5018/5013 O-27 straights & curves cataloged until about 1978(once the early woodgrain ties were discontinued).
