Beginners Q & A / Re: Post War vs Modern Locos Power Needs?

Thank you.  I had my KW transformer refurbished.  While the newer engine still rocket, I was able to find a "low end" on the throttle to allow me to operate with the newer engines.

Beginners Q & A / Post War vs Modern Locos Power Needs?

Hi, a grandpa here that is able to setup his 1960's Lionel 2065 Hudson set.  Have KW transformer.  During 1990's bought K-LINE items including locos such as S-2, S-15, etc.  When I am wired for  the Lionel Hudson, the loco performs as it should.  BUT, when a K-LINE loco is set on the track, it races off at the speed of light when the throttle breaks open.  Am I going to be plagued with this behavior?  Or, should I get a modern transformer to connect when running the locos from the 1990's.  I have been out-of-touch with the power dynamics here.  Thank you.
