Reply to "MTH Z4000 are coming in late 2021....with a price increase!"

Hi Guys new to the hobby- would probably be interested in a used Z-4000 for my MTH 7 train (64 worlds fair) & my Baby Blue Comet 263e 2.0 The rest in old ready to run Lionchief sets Polar Express Santa Fe super Chief & an one old K-line Coca-Cola set- My question is: what is a fair price for a z-4000 & what were the old serial numbers of the supposed bad z-4000`s That I had seen a tread about ( If even true) or should I stick with my z-1000 ( and CW80) that came with the sets?

I wanted to build my first 6x8 over & under with the help of a friend into the hobby & willing to help but don`t want to get a bum transformer or ripped off either...P.S. where would be the best areas to put the bus connections on this as well- I have the MTH 24 Terminal block & what gauge wire for power to each leg? ( was told every 3-4 ft of track?)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated...Thank you!
