Note: I originally posted this in the wrong forum - still learning
Hello! I am a new member and a VERY novice O Gauge/Scale train collector. I have been slowly building up my collection (under my wife's nose - she actually knows) of engines and rolling stock waiting until we can afford to move from our small condo into a house with a basement for my dream layout. Growing up my dad had the original LZ transformer and I thought about getting a rebuilt one. The new systems are much more advanced with wireless and protection capabilities. I have been reading posts on this forum for years and there is a wealth of knowledge and experience to be had.
I presently have Lionel CW-40 and CW-80 power sources for use at Christmas time. Eventually I would like to afford a ZW-L transformer but meanwhile am intrigued with the 6-2930 ZW-C Multi Watt system where I can add power as my layout and budget grows. Unfortunately I learned of this option only recently as obtaining new or reliable sets is difficult to find. Would appreciate any advice as to how to proceed with reliable power sources without breaking the bank.
So much to learn about how to power, wire and protect my present and future layout. Thanks! DALE
