Hi Sam / I have four on my layout, one for each of four main lines. I did not know, that they were hard to come by, I may have to purchase one for a back up. I have them hooked up to a Lionel "L" - "ZW" / The tracks are always at 18v / only time I use the ZW, is when running the old stuff. Do you run the bricks to a ZW or right to the tracks?
In the Lionel Track & Power Catalog, 2016 - 17 • Page 48 / 180 Watt Powerhouse / 6-22983. Do you know, has the male plug on the end still the same design as the old Lionel Bricks?
