Will this transformer work with tubular tracks for loinel trains in 1969. Do you need attack wires to hook up to the track .

I use two rail track - all American Flyer - so I don't know for sure. I would contact the company.

It would all depend on the amps that the train layout would need. Keep in mind this is only rated at 25 amps, and because the plastic is very thin you wouldn't want to exceed the 25 amps rating. On the other hand if the train layout is not going to be pulling over 25 amps then it should be fine.

I am assuming that toy are asking if you can use this train on another Lionel track. The answer is yes. You cannot run both trains on the same track at the same time, you would need two tracks and two transformers.

I know the Brio train runs well on this track and so I'd assume they would be compatible.... if the connection configurations are the same.

I used nearly a whole spool of this wire to rewire a 1950's home. Most was pulled through conduit. It works fine. I get digital signal in all locations (5) using amplifers (2) good quality connectors to terminate & 6db taps. The wire could have better braided shielding but, seems to work fine. Map your project. Consider your loss from taps & wire length used. Consider using good quality amplifiers where needed. Good Luck.

I used it with a push on transformer and it works great. Not sure about your application.

It does not have a port for accessories. You will need a separate controller for them. Just a cheap one will do. But do not run wires from a DC transformer and the DCC unit to the track at the same time, just use the DC unit for your accessories.

it will work but may cause bad connection problem later on. If your trains start to slow down or stall or your power pack trips out you will know where to look.

I am not sure I purchased this to go with the existing underground wiring that we have had for several years!

I have one and it worked fine. I would hold it in the air and turn it on to see if the tracks move if not then something isn't engaging.

I would think it would work fine with N scale. On my HO layout I use it to test section of track that are 35' long so it should have enough power for N scale in my opinion. If you had a very large layout you might need a bigger power pack.Good luck and Merry Christmas

If you purchase just the engine and coal car tracks are not included. If you buy a complete set of trains then tracks and transformer are included

Has a transformer that plugs into wall current and runs through track at lower voltage. Harmless current because current is reduced. I've had a Lionel train sonce 5 years old. 52 years ago.

yes you can...most multi tap transformers have room for 2-3 home run wires such as 12/2 direct burial.

Yes it will work.... But, some features won't work. The transformer only has two function buttons: horn and whistle. The lights would come on when power is applied, but you won't have any control over them. Also your couplers will not unlock with the push of a button either. It is a great transformer for trains with minimum features!

Yes, I noticed that to when the first one arrived. I apologize but I have not had time to check it yet. I purchased several for use on a postwar Lionel model train layout to use as track block relays as noted from a 1956 Lionel manual. Please stay in touch and I will try to get you an answer. I also purchase some Huron HH52P relays and the coils are clearly marked "12V AC."

The newer version does not have the add-on piping (wire) that runs down both mid-sides of the locomotive boiler. The new version appears to have that detail molded or cast in to the diecast shell. Although, IMO the older "wire" version "looks" better, the wire stanchions that held the wire away from the loco's shell often broke. So the newer molded in version is probably a better and more practical design especially if handled by children. :-) Although the newer version can operate simultaneously with the other newly released Lionel LIONCHIEF remote controlled locomotives, I'm unsure if it can simultaneously run with other conventionally/transformer controlled (Fwd/Neutral/Rev) locomotives. As noted by others, this new version INCLUDES sounds, engine chuff, steam whistle (much better than the old air whistle) and conductor dialogue clips taken from the Polar Exp movie ("All aboooaaard! This is the Polar Express" and "Tickets, tickets please"). This is a great feature and value because on the older/original non-remote version required you to buy a separate tender and conductor announcement car that cost an additional $160 combined. A couple of Youtube videos give you a good idea of the features: http://youtu.be/iwqn2Dfy6ZQ http://youtu.be/ygwkiGZ1O20
