Dimensions of Lionel ZW-L Transformer

3railOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Hey guys. I am looking for the overall dimensions of the Lionel ZW-L to mock-up my control table area. I tried the Lionel site, read the PDF instructions but no dimensions.

I tried the Search function, no luck. I typed in "ZW-L"...."ZW-L dimension"....."ZW-L dimensions"....."ZW-L size". It is possible I do not know how to use it correctly.

Regardless, if any of you have one and can take a few minutes to measure it, I would certainly appreciate the help. I need overall side to side, front to back and top to bottom. Basically, the clearance dimensions to fit on a shelf.

Thanks in advance.

zw-l dimensions. If this is inadequate, I have one I'll measure. TW

Measured anyway, W - 16" x H - 9 3/4" x D - 8". Base is W - 9" x D - 7 1/2". Due to the odd shape, the measurements are approximate. Box measurements are in picture attached. Use the weight number: 13kg = 28.66 lb.

Depth of 8" might be cutting it close when allowing for both the power cord, track power connections, and/or the handles if they are full throttle. I'd call it 9 1/2" to be safe (just did a quick measurement).

About this big...

Gary Holsclaw works on assembly of a large power transformer at Waukesha Electric. The company is planning a $70 million expansion that will add $140,000 square feet to its existing plant.

Yes, indeed. It's the vision that comes to mind whenever moving them about.

Thank you very much guys. I appreciate the response and information.

TEDW....sometime I will need to properly use the search....it must be the OGS "Old Guy Syndrome" acting up again. I swear when I typed that exact same phrase into the search engine....I did not see that reply.

Take care.

Donald, I cheated. blush I searched the internet(google) wave which brought me right back to the OGR thread. A local OGR search may have, in fact, not returned the same result. confused
