OTOH, there's no reason to spend that much on a transformer to connect to the PowerMaster, the PowerHouse 180 is a better choice as you get 360 watts from two of them for about half the price of the Z4000.
People that "hate" one manufacturer or another basically have a personal problem IMO.
All the manufacturers make some good stuff and some losers. The object of the exercise is to cherry pick the good stuff from the pile.
Well all I can say is most train guys around here do not like MTH, but then there are guys in my club that don't like modern trains. They are strictly post-war. They don't own computers or cell phones either. I would give MTH a try, but not their DCS system. I don't understand why it's set up the way it is.
