Is the transformer inside the box with the chime?

No. Transformer needs to be purchased separately and installed outside of the chime case

No I'mPretty sure it's not !I had to buy a new one because my old one was worn out it wouldn't even ring the the bell once it was installed ...I put the new one in insta- doorbell!

No. It does not come with the item. I used old transformer from worn out ancient Nutone chime that it replaced

Not really.... The chime is activated by a hammer (steel rod) that strikes a steel plate (the chime). The hammer is pulled to the chime by magnetic force when the doorbell is pushed. A good transformer will make a nice fairly loud chime, as the transformer is what powers the magnet to pull the hammer...... See my review on Feb 23. 2013 under the name of Phillip.

NO, However, the directions require that the transformer be plugged only into a GCI receptacle.Also, there is a separate Push to Reset button.

No. It turns from transformer into car and back. But no sound action etc to require batteries.

The bell sound is not an option on this model, there is a button on the transformer for a bell, however it is not compatible with this train, it does have a manually operated whistle.

I bought this one two years ago, and have no idea, what kind of transformer it has, because whatever comes with it we just installed it and that was it, I am really sorry that I am unable to help you any more, thanks ;you

A light buzzing sound is normal. Also, verify that you are not overloading the transformer.

You don't need a transformer! You can just plug it in as it is and works great!

The transformer was included in the shipping box. connects to standard 120v ac household electrical.

There is a chime, it takes a good bit of shaking for it to happen though. Seems to be impossible to find them without a chime. It's actually a rather "tin" sound and not what i think of when i think of a chime.

No it is not a transformer. But one of the globes broke during installation. They said they are replacing...

This device comes with a transformer, so Yes. Please see the other answers to your questions.

The transformer is not noisy. I leave it plugged in all day. It does not get too hot. BUT, it has started to make a noise every time the thermostat turns it on and off, after a couple of months of use. It's like a weird "beep" sound. I don't like that. Apart from that it works well.

No and no. It's a plug in transformer box with a wire attached and the end of the wire is split to be put into the respective places in the thermostat wiring.

Edwards answer is correct. You should have gotten the transformer with it, if not you might check the site as when I bought mine some did not say transformer included. I made sure I bought from one that did include it. I bought 2 of these units & love them!!

Yes, this is the full unit with transformer and bulb. It is also a stainless steel unit.

No transformer is necessary as the unit uses two 1.5 volt batteries. The bottom of the unit pops off and the batteries can then be replaced.
