All your advise is right on the money, most people know I am a big ZW guy, old or new. The one exception is the ZW-C way to many problems with them, and they use Bricks. IMO Lionel should fix every one of these ZW-C's under life time Warranty as Lionel does with our Legacy package.
Lionel could not give me a ZW-C.

Every one is entitled to an opinion but I have been using mine for about 17 years with out ANY issues! I enjoy the large meters that Lionel sold to go with it, the fact that no fans are required to cool it, the super quick breakers and the postwar styling. These kind of comments are thrown out all over the forum but I know quite a few fellow hobbyist who really enjoy theirs. I understand the frustrations of those trying to fix issues with these but this type of post does not help them.
I hope SLUGGER is successful in his efforts to resolve the issues.
Happy railroading,
Don
Don, my experience mirrors yours. Almost 15 years with my ZW-C. I use 4 180PH with it and it this the heart of my power for my large layout running Legacy/TMCC and DCS. It simply just works.
I had to adjust the gears once on the D handle after 10 years. Just like I've had to get into my original PW ZW275 every several years to clean rollers, etc.
