Anyone ever make one for a floor layout? I put the one in the picture together to hold my Lionel Z and the 440C and 439 control Panels. The top lifts up so I can hide terminal strips and whatever else I need to and keep it somewhat neat. I haven't wired it yet, just running the trains with it but it keeps everything together and looks good. If anyone else had made anything similar could you please post pictures?
Thanks
Pete

I have not, but I sure do like the looks of the devices on either side of the transformer. Since you call them by number I guess they are Lionel items from the past. Very nice.
Cool. The Z is my favorite Trans. Looks totally Frankenstein; especially with the Switch tower controllers next to it. Nice.
Did you put a new power cord on your Z?
I bought the Z from an OGR forum member about a year ago and it came ready to use. It can't be the original cord. I also bought rollers and rivets so I can get inside sometime and if needed replace them but at the moment all 4 controls work smoothly so I'm leaving it alone. I was using a KW for my floor layout and what a differance the Z makes. With all the lights I'm running off the track the KW just wasn't enough to also run the trains but the Z does fine.
Here's a more modern transformer/control rack I used at Christmas 2013:
