The Bellcaptain posted:New battery is ordered. Sorry to hear that the CW-80 is so bad. It's been my only transformer for power since I got it back in 04-05. Guess this means it's time to start getting real and finding a far better transformer.
If you don't have a large layout, and the cw-80's not giving you any problems, by all means, use it. I probably shouldn't have used the term horrible, but it is what it is. I still use mine. Like i said, if it blows the fuse (which is a common probleml), it's really easy to repair. It's a nice little transformer, when it works that is.
