No safe generic
At 18V and 4A with no published barrel size or polarity, a generic brick is too big a gamble.

Lionel LionChief Power Supply: 18V DC 6-81603
18V DC wall supply with a barrel jack that plugs into a LionChief FasTrack terminal section
Verified November 2026Which one do you have?
You need: Lionel gives no spec for these on its page; read the label. 6-81603 is Lionel's named 18V DC option.
You need: An AC transformer such as the CW-80. A forum owner reports Lionel service said wall-pack DC won't run postwar AC accessories.

The usual mistake
