Reply to "Looking at a used Z-4000, anything to be concerned with???"

Nothing bets the old Lionel ZW's.  They power everything with no issues and they last, some are 75 years old.  There easy to service and parts are still available.

Just add circuit protection in the form of fast blowing fuses or TVS's.  And you can get them for under $200.00.  I have 6 on my layout and they all preform just fine.

Nothing wrong with the ZWL's ether.   

I'm not knocking the Z-4000's, there good devices, but with the company going out of business, lack of parts and support I would be reluctant to spend more then $100.00 for one. At that price you could still sell off parts and make your money back.
