KKNAPPER,
Welcome to the forum! If you haven't found us already, we are your local friendly model train store about 45 minutes west down the thruway. Stop in! We have all the great MTH transformers suggested above in stock and we can help you pick the right one for you and anything else you might need. We are also an authorized service station for Lionel & MTH Electric Trains. Bring your grandson in a few weeks (2nd March 12:00-4pm) to our O Gauge clubs OPEN HOUSE featuring a huge operating layout in their club room behind our store.

Question: New to the hobby & just got hold of the MTH 7 #30-2274-1 train set -I was told not to use my Lionel CW 80 with it- that it will screw up my MTh set ( Something about different wave frequency) Should I just go with the Z-1000 I saw a used one for $60 or should I buy new for $100? any insight would be helpful- Thanks!
