You can't beat the simplicity and looks. Easy to hook up and use. Just the right amount of power for a long train (8 or more cars) on an average 8 foot X 4 foot Oval set-up. My brother runs same oval set-up with 6 switch tracks and it's plenty for him too. I've heard they have had problems in the past but the jury is still out on reliability. I have 2 of them and my brother has 1 CW-80 and also the MTH Z4000. No problems to date. Ed Freeport, NY

Received this item fairly quickly which was nice. It came in a shipping box but then the box that the actual transformer itself was in had been cut open prior. That was kind of sketchy. While it does provide a whole lot more power then my original 1978 Lionel transformer, the added Bell, Whistle, and Direction (supposed to change the direction train is traveling I can only assume?) buttons do not work. I paid about $50 less than this item would cost me at my local hobby store, so I guess its a deal, but with those added 'bells and whistles' (literally and figuratively) not working, I can only give it 2 stars.

I can't tell you how happy my little boy is right now. After buying a second hand Lionel set which is in great condition, the original transformer blew due to our naivety regarding electrical differences between the UK and the US. We bought the correct adapter and the this transformer works perfectly.

I found the cw-80 to work well with my o gauge trains. The controls were easy to operate.

I opened the box & found that first it was packaged for shipment and second it looked an unbelievably handsome product. The kids will love it... of course it's Lionel!
