I use the transformer with the command/conventional switch on conventional with a single output on 18vac. The “panic” button as you call it is a Legacy control system function, not transformer. It stops all Legacy controlled engines. Which is what I run. I don’t have any conventional engines, only Legacy. But we are getting off topic, so if need be start another thread for ZW-L issues.

That works OK if you only run TMCC /Legacy engines but I also run MTH as well. That is why I like the ZW-c in command. If I see a problem coming up, it does not matter if it is a TMCC or DCS engine, the panic button shuts the power off completely. All I have to do after is use the remote to crank the power back up on each output to start going again. I do not have to return to the transformer as all is done from the CAB1 or CAB2 anywhere in the room.

I agree that the ZW-L is a fine transformer! I still prefer the ZW-c!

Happy railroading,
