Hi Al, I had a box full of these old transformers. I trashed them because I got so tired of storing them and the fact that they were very dangerous. One of the names that I remember was a Jefferson that went up to 25 volts. Great video as usual! 👍
@johnblair8146 A very good question. Lionel seemed to use other manufacturers on their early catalogs. Note the Ives Dome Station. Looking online, it appears to be a Weeden Machine shop or something like that.

Very historical
It was a fun research project, and it is always great to learn some of the history.
Good job, very informative on something we don’t see much about.
@@richardsobieck9660 Thanks! It was enjoyable researching what I could find out about these old transformers.

@TwistedMacGyversTrains I can understand why you trashed them! They do make great paper weights or door stops.
WHAT IS THAT ACCESSORY AT 5:48 ?!?!?!?!?!
