Brand new out of Copper Range set.
Took it out to test it.
Has banana plug socket connections.
Fastrack terminal track wires have forked terminals that won't fit around transformer terminal posts.
I guess the track and transformer people don't talk to each other.
I'll just keep using my 1033.
Thanks

Docksider,

Take a look at the CW-80 manual, here:

This says that your fastrack should have spade-type wire ends that should fit on the terminals. If the terminals aren't big enough, maybe it's a case of Lionel's left hand not talking to its right? Can you spread the spades out just a bit?

Thanks for the reply.
The picture in your link shows exactly what I have.
But there's no way the "spade-shaped connectors" will fit around the banana jack posts on the transformer I have.
I could modify the wire terminals but I just put the CW80 back in the box.
I'll just stick with my old 1033.
See my other CW80 post.
Thanks
