Yes, but you need to add A TMCC direct lock-on in between the ZW and the track.
This also gives you a modern circuit breaker. The old PW ZW breaker may be to slow to protect the modern electronics in the Legacy engines.
You will need a direct lock-on for each handle of the ZW i.e. A, B, C, and D.

Nick, the Lockons are not TMCC enabled, they cannot be turned off/on with a remote
A TPC 300/400 can shut off power, but you would need one for each power line you want to control. Be cheaper to buy a PWC ZW or a ZW-L
Hi Chris, doh! Yes your correct. I was thinking of the halt feature. But that does not cut the power.
If you went down the Powermaster route it's going to cost alot. A Powermaster per circuit and the Powermaster Bridge.

There is also a Legacy Powermaster shown on Lionel's website but it hasn't been shipped yet. It will eliminate the need for a Powermaster bridge.
