Right now using a Lionel ZW 275 watt transformer. I just rebuilt it with a new ac cord new circuit breaker, led lamps, all 4 carbon roller are the copper ones, diode whistle installed. I have a chance to get a hold of a MTH Z-4000 off a fellow worker, who getting out of trains. He is the original owner of the transformer bought it new, comes with the box and manual. Price is fair. I thinking of getting it for a spare or main unit, sell the ZW and keep the Z-400 don't know yet. I like the lionel one I have, works great, the mod for diode whistle makes it respond instant. Would you get the MTH or stick with the lionel? Anyone have a Z 4000 are you happy with it? Is it as reliable as the ZW? All my engines are TMCC no MTH engines. I do use the 990 command center also.
