Control system for conventional and command

I would be interested too; I have found that the CW80s I have do not do well with the smoke units of Legacy engines pulling incandescent lighted cars - the smoke unit in my VL Niagara tender would not produce smoke till I connected it to a ZWL.  I have read where the Bricks will do just as well as the ZWL but don't know if they have the same breaker protection.

The Powerhouse 135w or 180w is plug and play. They are both highly reliable units. The 180 has a quicker breaker than the 135w version. However the 135w can be picked up for a song most times.

Get the 180, it's worth the extra in that it comes with a built in fast electronic circuit breaker that's worth $50 alone.

Yep, I unloaded all my PH135 bricks and I only use the PH180 units.  Great transformer, very compact for the amount of power.

Sounds unanimous! ...Thanks all, and I like the idea of the PH180 breaker feature too. Do I need anything else with the brick, or does it come with  the required cables or plug-ins?

It comes with a power plug (no kidding) and the output cable terminated in a 3-pin Molex connector.  If you're using a PowerMaster, the brick plugs into the PowerMaster directly.
