Polar Express Set and Pennsylvania Flyer Freight Train Set With MRC Transformer
Fred is having troubles with his model train sets and asks readers for help:
“My new ‘Pure Power Dual’ MRC transformer will not activate my Lionel engine’s whistles that came in the Polar Express set and the Pennsylvania Flyer Freight train set. The whistles work fine with the 80 watt Lionel transformer. The Lionel transformer has a ‘whistle’ button verses the MRC having a ‘horn’ button. I’m using the center rail and the inner rail for my connection. The train store suggested changing to the outer rail. I don’t think this would make a difference, right? I’ve tried switching transformer posts on the MRC, but no help. Does the MRC ‘horn’ button not activate whistles? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.”
