Hi Gateman67,
The problem that you are having with the CW-80 is a result of the CW-80 using a chopped sine output, which many MTH products, most notably anything with Proto-Sound 2 electronics don't play well with chopped sine currents. The nice thing about the CW-80, is it's near zero voltage performance. If you have a locomotive that wont start slowly or smoothly with the MTH transformers, try it with the CW-80. Most MTH transformers have a minimum voltage of about 5-6 volts. The CW-80's programmable accessory output is also another nice feature of the CW-80. The CW-80 is only an 80 watt transformer, but used within it's capabilities, they are a GREAT little transformer.
