QUOTE: from MTH newletter "Recently, MTH has received requests from operators interested in learning if the Lionel CW80 Transformer and the K-Line Railchief 120 transformer are suitable power supplies for Proto-sound locomotives. Unfortunately, both transformers utilize inexpensive, but functional systems to output power to the track. As designed, these units violate the age-old pure sine-wave standard for power output developed by Lionel in the early 20th century and followed by most transformer designs since. As a result, these units can cause errant whistle and bell sounds to play during operations. While these adverse effect will not harm a Proto-Sound locomotive they may be undesirable. As a result, MTH does not recommend either the Lionel CW80 or K-Line Railchief 120 for use with Proto-Sound Locomotives."
