Hello! We just bought a CSX locomotive and it requires at least 90 watt transformer. What can we use? We tried a 80 watt and it did not move the transformer light just blinked like the train was off the track. Any ideas??

Greetings.
Sounds like a "Williams by Bachmann" 3-rail O-gauge loco, correct?
You'll find more 3-rail-O enthusiasts in the "Williams by Bachmann" sub-forum than here in the "general" section.
Check for shorts, such as power feed wires touching each other, something metal laying across the rails, or the power lock-on for tubular rail track misplaced between the rails.
Does the transformer light blink if you apply power to the track with nothing on the rails?
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
