Expensive, but a couple of things I like about the MTH Z-4000 are that, A) it is a two-handle transformer, so that I can operate a conventional loop with one handle wired to that loop, while simultaneously operating a command control loop set to 18v for command engine operation with the other handle wired to that loop at the same time, and B) it has separate taps for both 14 vac and 10 vac to operate many accessories without the potential need for another/additional transformer, and C) it has plenty of power to do all of the above for most layouts.
