Vintage Multi-Control Trainmaster Type-ZW 275 Watt Lionel Transformer LIONEL TYPE ZW, 275 WATT TRAINMASTER TRANSFORMER capable of running 4 trains at one time. They don’t make them like this anymore. After over 65 years the powerful ZW is still the best way to deliver raw power to your layout. And to quote from a recent issue of Classic toy trains: "It's with good reason that the ZW remains the choice of many operators, even after nearly 65 years. Other firms (including the Lionel Corp's successors) have tried to match it, but the ZW remains the gold standard" Great shape. No cracks or breaks in the case, all wire terminals are solid with the original connector nuts, lettering and numbers are in nice shape, no cracks or breaks on the handles, or the bakelite case. No rust on the base. Electrical cord looks to be a long length replacement and is in excellent condition. I have checked out the ZW and all 4 controllers deliver over 20 volts of power and the controls vary the power properly. I do not know how to test the whistle / direction controllers. I am not a "train" expert, nor do I have any trains to test this on, only know the tests I performed with my multimeter. The green light is always on and stays the same brightness, the red light has not come on during my testing. Please see photos for more details, ask questions if
