Hi , new ,first post. am not new to MRRing however. as a kid, i had a lot of HO scale. my main desire was always post war Lionel, which, thanks to ebay (!), have acquired quite a bit of ... thot it would be nice to have some 'newer' technology, so about a year ago, purchased a Williams GP-9, supposedly horn equipped. sure enough was, however a cracked tracing on the pc board prevented operation. replaced it with a board from the company that supposedly supplies Williams... i can only get intermittent operation, mainly if i have the throttle pegged, and, even then it is erratic. all of my connections are soldered fine. i have an old 2037 w/ a whistle tender and it blows perfectly.... am using a LW 125 transformer. i have seen elsewhere on the net that Williams horns are 'touchy',, is this true and are there any cures ? complete regards in advance. BNSF just rolling thru my town on the main line- 4 SD's pullin' long line of coal as i post ....! happy thanksgiving ! driver8
