Ok I have recently gotten back into trains, right now I have these...

Williams "O" Gauge  3 Rail Santa Fe F7 Diesel Locomotives

Lionel 8757 CONRAIL GP9 ENGINE

MTH Premier 20-2146-1EMD

Rail King "O" Scale "Union Pacific" Big Boy Cab No. 4020 With Proto Sounds #30-1129-1

Lionel Missouri Pacific (MOPAC) GP-7 Diesel W/ Light and horn 6-18514

LIONEL POSTWAR O GAUGE 2348 MINNEAPOLIS & ST.LOUIS GP-9 DIESEL

I also just purchased a lionel zw 760a with 2 of the power supplies.  I am having trouble with the engines not wanting to run right with it, the lights won't light up or move at all until it is about 3/4 throttle, I'm on old 3 rail tubular track and I'm seeing where sparks at certain points on the track (maybe dirty?). Nothing else works like horn or bells.. ?? Any info I greatly appreciate!! Cho cho!!

General Lionel Model Train Discussion / Newbie questions

Hello from Desoto, MO

I recently have gotten back into trains since I was little and hoping my son enjoys them as much I used to. With all the new stuff out for them I am wondering if my old would work with the new?

I have a Lionel 2348 Minneapolis& St. louis engine and have a ton of track but it is the old 3 rail track, would the new Lionel CW-80 80-Watt Transformer work with my track? What would I need to get my scenery and track power from? I also have a NIB MTH 4-8-8-4 4020 that I am considering putting on the track also. Would the lionel stuff work with MTH? Sorry for the question just trying to figure all the new age stuff out.
