Hey Forest, thanks for the info. I will give the various suggestions a try as I have time and resources. I was just wanting an engine to haul some freight and the Southern diesel looked neat. I actually prefer no sounds except the horn. Other than the CW80, I've got two other Lionel transformers that I use, one pictured and an old blue one from the 1970s. I also have a ZW transformer that I've never used, nor do I know if it works. Bought it used several years ago but never had a chance to try it out.
