You're a bit like DCC, Louis, got'ta get your head around it first.
I had not realized I was that complex, It all seems simple in my little world. In my head that is.

Hmmm, Well, I actually have one of those. They are only 80 watts, I didn't think that was enough for the new guy. Seems the one I have has a hard time with an SD-40 that came with it in a set.Don't listen to the naysayers; "Can't Work" that's last century's news. I'll go as far as to say "dollar for dollar the modern CW80 is the best transformer ever built for O scale trains"
A riot LOUIS -Love the old cartoons, especially Foghorn!
Question: Will a CW-80 also power the 40's and 50's postwar Lionel?

Personally I am an Inky fan. Followed by Gossamer, Sam, and Ralph. Oh and of course Pete the Puma. He is following "train tracks". Never cared too much for Foghorn, Speedy Gonzalas, or Daffy Duck when he was not paired with Porky Pig, except of course for the three Wabbit Season episodes.Bugs is my all-time favorite, but Foghorn is a close second!
I have the Northwest Special Freight. As near as I can tell from here (450 miles away from it) that is the 80W.I'm surprised, I can run my Lionel EM-1 with TMCC, pulling 12 die cast 100 ton hoppers and a lighted caboose with a CW-80 on a 17 foot oval with O72 curves and only 2 feeder wires, 180 degrees apart. The sounds function, but I have not tried the TMCC controls. I have a ZW-L and Legacy command station, but they have been put back in the box.
What set did yours come from?
No I have not. Didn't even think it might be an issue. Just assumed that was normal operating behavior.Have you tested the output?
So you don't think too much of the Trainmaster Command Control, or Legacy Command #990 systems.ZW-L TRANSFORMER - New and More Advanced Version of the Classic Lionel ZW

Thanks for the info, LOUIS, I will have to try and see what happens. I do not have one of the newer trannies - used to have a TW, but foolishly sold it many years ago. All I have now are a couple 1033's.
I don't know what Uncle Grand Pa is. ? I'm pretty specific to the Looney Tunes. All others seem to fall short somehow. I think I am close to having a copy in some format or another of all Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies up to the beginning of the Saturday Morning Bugs Bunny Show (1962? or so) when they stopped making the good cartoons and just rehashed the old.I like many cartoons from Bugs to Sponge Bob, Even Uncle Grand Pa.
That is good information. I didn't understand how they were related and why there were two things that seemed very similar.I am not familiar with TMCC systems. I know a bit about how the TMCC equipment works with the Legacy 990. I only got involved with Lionel in 2012. TMCC was replaced by Legacy beginning in 2007.
You can operate Legacy locomotives with TMCC, but you will not have access to the advanced Legacy controls.
With all the advancements and regular updates I would recommend buying the Legacy system.
So, so, bummed. The estimated delivery date isn't until May 2018.
More like the surprise on the credit card statement.That is disappointing. Look at the Brightside; by then you will have nearly forgotten about it. Than it will show up at your door, surprise!

Yes sir! Lionel true O scale at that!
