Thanks Bill for your response.
From what I've gathered so far, if I wanted to have the CW80, (or another transformer, perhaps a 135W powerhouse ?), inside a cabinet, could I then use a Cab 1 remote with the command base to control lights, engine sound and smoke?
What little bit I have learned so far, is what I've gained just since this morning, so everything is really quite new to me. I saw a video that mentioned a power block(?), do I need one of those? Will the engine (Zephyr 6-51008, 2004 model) need to be programmed? I downloaded the Lionel manual today, so I'm sure I'll gain a lot from that.
Thanks again, you guys are proving to be most helpful

Yes, you would be able to use command control with either of them. If you got the powerhouse you would need a tmcc direct lock on it looks like. You wouldn't need power block for a static display.
