Dedicated Accessory Transformer

I have been using a “Z” Transformer for years. That way U can set each of the 4 Outputs to the desired voltage to match  accessory  requirements!

PS….i also have a Brand New one in the Box for Backup!!  LOL

Like Fredstrains - I also use a Z to power my accessories. Can adjust voltage to each group of accessories.

I use a older 'V' for all of my many accessories (mostly lighting though).  It too has 4 separate outputs.

The 32923 has just the one variable tap and only a 30 watt output... why not just stay with the 65-70 watts output of the 1033? Additionally, you get 2 fixed voltage outputs and a variable, referenced to the common "A" post. Much more versatile.

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate them.  I like the 32923 for its small size and simplicity.  Again, it's only used to power my test track on my workbench, nothing on the layout.  Yep, it's small, but I was hoping it had a bigger brother.

Lionel CW-80’s. I’ve used two of them for accessories for years now. Both have provided reliable service and generally are easy to find.

@juniata guy,

Thanks.  Actually I discovered them about 30 minutes ago (I really am not up on that stuff).  I may be making a purchase later today.

Check out the Lionel PowerStation. I have a couple of these.

I use an assortment of small transformers.  Some small (60 - 75 watt) transformers and some CW-80s.  I've got enough small transformers to dedicate one per accessory (sawmill, newsstand, log loader, et. al.).

@ADCX Rob,

Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for!

@cbq9911a,

I have a reconditioned ZW and 1033 right now on my layout, and will be adding the one Rob suggested. I don’t think I can do 1 per accessory though due to size constraints. One thing I do to lessen power needs is to convert all lighting to LEDs.

I purchased a used MTH Z1000 for this purpose.
