Thanks for the detailed responsse. I went back and took a few more measurements based on your input. I watched maximum voltage on the 4th (unused) output from the ZW. CORRECTION: It (and all the others) was dead-on at 20.0 V - NOT the 19 V I mentioned earlier. I must have had something running last night when I measured it(?) - scratch that - it's right where it should be at 20V. On a train by train basis running at relatively high speed it averaged approximately a little less than a 1 V DROP
This is the first time I've run my ZW on 3 tracks on one of my 'temporary layouts'. In the past I've used various combinations of my transfers. I also have a 1033 and an LW as well. I've refurbished all my transformers, phased them (polarized plugs) and put in solid state diodes. My future consideration is to still look into modern breakers... But since I don't run modern hardware w/ electronnics I haven't given it any priority yet. I also have a pair of CW80s an early
Trestles Options for Tube Track? I'm curious what the various trestle options are, about their merits and how they compare etc. This would be for O31 or O27 track. Options I can think of include: Marx Lionel PW Modern Lionel Other (MTH?) thanks
Instructions Included with Marx RTR Sets? Did Marx include any sort of instruction sheet, booklet etc typically with their RTR sets of the 1950s or 1960s? (Marx or Allstate)
How to identify various eras of O27 (& Marx) Track? I was sorting through a lot of old track I have. I noticed not all the O27 track is identical. Some are marked LIONEL and some are not. some have brown and somme have black 'ties'. Some of the brown ties actually have 'wood-grain' instead of just brown. Some of the black ties have 2 holes for mounting and some only have one. There are some slightly different crimping styles on the bottom of the tubed track where they are bound
Lionel PW - Post War era (but you knew that right? )
PW ZW - Breaker and Voltage ?s I have a ZW with the following, possibly related issues - appreciaite any input: Q1: When running my ZW with 3 PW trains running simultaneously on three discrete tracks - the maximum voltage drops from a nominal 19.4VAC down to something in the 17s as maximum. Is this 'normal' for the maximum voltage to drop during 'heavy' operation? In my case the engines would be PW locos. Also the lockons would be lighted and a few of the passenger cars and a caboose
Thanks for your response.So these are correct for an 11520 set? Did the 11520 set come with an uncoupler track? Or an activation button? These are mentioned in the referenced instructions. But if these are 'generic' instructions for all sets that may just be incidental. Thanks
Lionel 11520 RTR set from ~1965 Questions I have some contents which I believe come from an 11520 set. 1) LIONEL APPROVED SERVICE STATIONS 1965-1966. 2 pages then tri-folded. Would this have typically been included with a RTR set? Is it worth much if anything? 2) INSTRUCTIONS LIONEL TRAIN OUTFIT. 1 page folded multipe times. Shows how to hook up a coupler track within an oval. Shows how to use a directional button. Shows how to connect transformer to track. Shows how to remove the motor from a Scout
Lee - thanks - I agree w/ you on the breakers and yes that's the link that offers them. thanks again
