Williams EZ Street Car - Done Burned Up!

Point of Post:  If you are using an MRC Dual Power and an EZ Streets vehicle (I had the Maroon Sedan, Cat # 42275), DO NOT.  Just got off the phone with Bachmann about why mine burned up in early December after running about 10 minutes.  It literally burned up inside.  Answer is that although the EZ Streets runs on AC power, it has to be on certain AC power sources.  The MRC Dual Power sends out a AC power in a manner that is not compatible with the motor.

 

My Question to Bachmann: Where in the instructions is there a list of non-compatible transformers, like MTH used to have in its instruction manuals for the PS-1 engines?

 

Recommendation from Bachmann Service: Lionel 1033 transformer (used as an example; point is that a functioning post war transformer will do it well).

 

A DC transformer would work too. 

 

Anyone need an MRC Dual Power?
