After an hour of unsuccessful web surfing, decided to ask for help from the forum. I am looking for variable voltage transformers to power my DZ2500 switch motor blocks. Ultimately I want 14 VAC and I suppose that a variable voltage transformer would be the easiest way of achieving that. Thanks for any leads you can offer.

Can you use a regular old Lionel transformer? A 1032/1033/1044 should be enough to run every DZ on a typical large layout.
I use a 12 volt outdoor lighting transformer. It puts out about 13 volts and works fine for powering my 15 (at present more to be added later) DZ-2500s. Look for a lighting kit on sale at one of the big box stores and rob the transformer or look for a replacement one. It is fixed voltage but I don't think you need variable for this.

Use a starter set transformer or find one on Want to Buy for cheap.
I use Radio Shack 12.6V CT 3.0A Chassis-Mount Transformers for my accessories, including several Z-Stuff signals. They cost $10.99.
