Orrin, by DCS you mean that you flipped the switch to DCS?  From what I am reading, in conventional it should not make a difference. My question is, can it be locked into a direction using DCS?  If it can, then likely the previous owner did. Can it be unlocked without DCS? 

Yes Bill, but he needs a proper transformer with bell and whistle buttons to do it.

MTH engines don't like some of Lionel's smaller transformers that have a certain wave output.

I actually run most of my MTH O scale on Lionel's PH180 bricks. Again, no bell and whistle buttons. I also have a Z4000.

I fear the problem here might be something else so I wouldn't recommend he spends that kind of money here just to test.

I'm guessing though that the older ZWs don't have the buttons? I have read that they lack protection for modern equipment.
