ZW Transformer Operation | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

DS TexasOGR Forum Member

I have two ZW transformers and was testing operations of each trying to follow the instructions on Tranz4mr’s ZW Page. I noticed that the whistle/direction levers work for A & D on both transformers but do not work on either transformer for B & C. Are the whistle/direction levers supposed to work on the B & C circuits? I thought maybe I did something wrong when I replaced the cord and rollers on one of the transformers.

Thanks for your advice.

They only work for A and D.

Vic, Thanks for the reply. I tried to find that written somewhere but must have missed it.

Thanks again.

I just use B/C for accessories for constant output voltage.

When I had my PW ZW that's what I used B&C for.

Do a Google search for a Lionel ZW instruction sheet. You will find it written there.
