my cw 80 works fine for my postwar whistle tenders, but when i hook up to my kw or zw transformer the tenders sound like they are coughing and hacking.The KW
and ZW transformer i bought from 2 different transformer restoration guys at the TCA york fair around 3 years ago ...does anybody have information on testing the whitsle switch with a multimeter... both transformers have diodes in them

Does the loco speed up when you turn the whistle lever?
John
I haven't tried a steam engine with the tender, I have tried several whitsle tenders
I have the zw totally apart now, waiting for a whitsle switch from JEFF KANE
I work on steam engines and tenders,, this is my first time learning about lionel transformers
Thanks I will do this after I put it back together , I believe all parts should be good
The parts I ordered are spare and used to compare with original thanks for the check list
