W/WBB will run on TMCC/L in CONV. only.  In TMCC, one PowerMaster per loop with a Cab-1 will do it.  however, Cab-1's are no longer made!

They need to make some O-27 and 31 track so you could use some smaller locos for street running.

Now, how about some WBB units!

An oil with Teflon works wonders!

If you can find it, Marx did make O-27 profile curve track in O-34 curves.  Marx has black ties with blue center rail insulators.  3 ties per curve is 27, 4 is 34.

In the PW era, transformers tened to loose power because of heat.  Hence a Lionel 1033/44 said 90W, but over time, it was good for 75.

Modern transformers tend not to loose power as they heat up.  Hence Lionel, Atlas, and MTH 75W units can run a W/WBB loco, even though W/WBB recommends 90.

But, if you are running cars with lights, extra wattage is a help.  Also, you might want to exchange lights in lighted cars with LED's.  Not the light of the PW, but they do run cooler important inside closed bodies, especially plastric.  Also, they use less juice per bulb, which increases the range of the transformer.

KCS, CGW, and MKT in that red colour in F3's.  Three for one!

Actually, one could palce it in a buiilding, and run it off a lockon, like some of the older Lionel whistling shacks.

A livery Lionel should have done.

Somebosy on this list is looking for a CGW, KCS, and MKT in that red which is linked with a president which ran the three roads, one at a time.

Take the moldy stuff outside in direct sun FOR A FEW MINS!  The UV radiation will kill mold and spores.
