hello all, I am curious regarding the operations of the lionel LW transformer; I thought the indicator green light will light any time it is plugged in and the one I have will only light when track voltage is present. this is a potent transformer just wondering about the indicator green light. the TW transformer I have wil light any time it’s plugged in. any input n this is appreciated

@rebuilder, it would be very difficult to rewire the existing internal bulb socket as the wiper and bulb socket are physically and electrically connected. The single lead from the base to the bulb goes to the common - moving it to an accessory post won't provide your desired behavior.

A much simpler and less invasive solution is to externally wire a ~14V indicator bulb to the A-C posts. This bulb will be illuminated whenever the transformer is plugged in (and the breaker hasn't tripped).
