Thanks
the 1033 is a variable tap iron core transformer so, yes, the output is a nice smooth sine wave. although i'm fond of this transformer for running or testing small pre- and postwar trains, i would hesitate to call it a very robust design to support the throttle manipulations necessary to trigger modern sound system features, at least not for regular use.
