       Tech 2 1400 Transformer
       By: P Escott Date: April 4, 2019, 5:20 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I recently purchased a Tech 2 1400 transformer to run a Hudson
       locomotive on a basic track set up.  The first time I hooked up
       the transformer and turned on the power, the locomotive flew off
       of the track.  I unhooked the transformer, reattached the wires
       and tried two more times.  At no more than 5% power, the
       transformer was providing so much electricity that the
       locomotive wouldn't stay on the track.
       I'm in Mexico, so it is pretty much just my boys and me in the
       whole country who have Lionel trains.  That being the case, any
       guidance on how to get the Tech 2 properly working would be
       greatly appreciated.
       Thanks.

       The Tech 2 1400 supplies DC voltage to the track. Your
       locomotive may run on AC or DC.
       What locomotive do you have, and who is the manufacturer? This
       info will guide us in determining the proper transformer for
       you.
