Maintaining and servicing your set

Troubleshooting

No lights or operation

Be sure CW-80 Transformer is plugged in.

Train runs, but WHISTLE, and DIRECTION buttons do not work

Check track connections. The track must be connected to the “A” and “U” terminals on the 
Transformer.

No change when DIRECTION button is pressed

Be sure that your locomotive reverse unit switch is ON.

Locomotive runs slowly at the far end of the track

On larger layouts, additional track resistance may cause a voltage drop. Attach additional 
power connections to the remote portion of your track. Power wires (6-12053) are available 
separately.

Green light begins to flash

The power limit of the Transformer has been exceeded. The unit will gradually reduce power 
until the problem is corrected. 

Bell button blows whistle

Switch the wire connections at the Transformer terminals. Be sure that the U post is connected 
to the outside rail and the A post is connected to the inside rail.

Green light flashing , no power to the track

The Transformer has shutdown because the power limit was exceeded for more than 30 sec-
onds. Move the throttle to the OFF position to reset the Transformer and return to normal 
operation.
