I need your help to suggest appropriate transformer.
Please know that I am a great grandmother (of girls)
and I am now the proud owner of this train that does not run because I love auctions and I couldn't resist such a beautiful addition to my "Christmas" decor this year. My children were girls and grandsons were not interested in trains. SAD, but true. After hours of searching by first finding out the scale and finding out how much I did NOT know I have found you. The train was not in a box hence no help as to what was supposed to be included. ...but the pieces I do have are: ENGINE #8254, the matching coal car also #8254, 2 passenger cars equipped with lights that do not work and 20 pieces of track that do go together and makes a nice oval track. I have read about the lighting in your forum and I am pretty confident I can take the cars apart and fix the lighting...and yes I have discovered all of the battery compartments that require a 9V battery and new batteries did not make any of the lights come on. I think the help I need MOST from you folks is what transformer do I need for this beautiful train. Most likely I will not add any cars now but in the future if I find an irresistible caboose I will add that. Thanks for any help you can give me....We have young at heart great grandmothers in the South.
