I have a Williams diesel loco bought earlier this year new. Recommended transformer is 90 watt. I have a Lionel CW 80 which isn't enough. So I am going to ebay for a 90 watt + transformer. I don't mind getting an older one and would prefer one that is a little bigger than the minimum 90 watt. My concern is getting one that doesn't have problems. My question is, do any of you who may have bought this type of equipment on ebay have any favorite, reliable sellers you would want to recommend? I have not saved up enough yet to buy, but I am starting to watch the auctions for pricing and to see what is out there. Thanks.
I'd just look at the sellers feedback, and make sure to pay using paypal, if something is wrong then you can get your money back.
I prefer to buy for a "top rated seller" and then you're quite sure it's ok.
Go for something bigger than 90 watts if your CW-80 isn't doing it. I'd suggest a KW, they're the best value in watts per dollar.

I just won an auction on ebay for a 125 watt transformer, should be here any day now. I'm anxious to give it a try. I'm gonna have to get up there and give the track a good cleaning, as it's been months since it has been run while I have been working on the N gauge.
while cleaning, can you also make some pictures?
