Reply to "Questions on Lionel Type R and V transformers"

Wow!! Sounds like you got a lot going on....first thing is lamps draw a lot of power...especially if you have all your switches on fixed voltage plugs. I can’t say for sure with out seeing your V type as to what happened to it, but it sure sounds like it’s shorted somewhere inside.....if your not confident about exploring around inside, then don’t...have a professional take a look at it....(afraid of a little fire scarecrow?) ...as far as the r goes, with all the stuff you got that pup’s gonna cook like a popcorn kettle tryin to keep up....from your list (and maybe I’m wrong) sounds like you need 2 more 275watt ZW’s....or perhaps a MTH Z4000, I think you need to spread this load out a bunch more.......let’s see what others have to say too.....fortunately Postwar ZW’s have gone by the wayside and can be had a whole lot cheaper these days....even rebuilt units ready to rocknroll............Pat
