It sounds like the whistle rectifier discs are bad.

Replace them with part #1041-13, available from The Train Tender.

Title: Problem with my ZW
Post by: 70gtvert on November 29, 2017, 01:38:20 pm

My ZW transformer has an issue, 2 if you count the fact that it is on each side. The whistle doesn't work. In fact, it acts the same as the direction function. I've already rundown the wiring and confirmed all is connected and where it should be. I cleaned the contacts, I added a solid state circuit breaker. Everything else works like it should. I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
