Granted, the LW has an unusual CCW direction to increase voltage versus CC for most transformers. I solved that issue by installing only LW transformers and have three on my layout. It was too confusing mixing an LW with CC transformers.
I did not want to give up the LW high output wattage and is probably Lionel's most powerful single control transformer and it runs two trains per loop with one LW with ease. They have a lighted dial too. Their cost is light on my wallet too.
