Yep, pick up a CW 80 or spring for a nice refurbished postwar Lionel ZW and never look back on needing a different transformer. The CW 80's are nice looking with a mix of postwar style with modern electronics. But if you ever get the urge for a 2343 Santa F3 with its twin pulmor motors, it will be overwhelmed. With prices as low as they are these days on ZW's, I usually just recommend folks get one of those from a reputable dealer thats been gone thru to replace the cord and other internal items that are best to be updated such as the circuit breaker ect.
