How do you keep that stuff from sliding off? 
What is it?

+1. Also, what is it for?
Transformer for O gauge model trains. Not UL approved. Marketed by Davis Trains of Milford, Ohio. Not too many produced, there may have been a slightly taller model also manufactured. In the 1990s, I think the shelf price was over $600. Errors in this information are mine.

rrattler21..... if they were 600.00 wished I had bought then! sorry about picture using my phone.
at 33lbs it doesn't slide off trust me.
And the max and z-4000 are on a wheeled cart but mostly reside under bench work until a reason for them to come out.
The z-4000 is a secondary power source for branch lines.
the max runs both the mainlines.
I have another post going and Rob Roy said this thing is rated at 300 watts of power per throttle so a whopping 600 watts of power am sure is producing less than that but as tim tailor the tool man said "more power" ar ar ar.
Now how many BBoys Challengers and those Centipedes can it handle?
the actual man's name whom built them is gary cooper sold under name of mainline industries.
Davis Electronics only sold them unless after I bought mine Davis Electronics started producing them? all I can say this transformer has been going strong since 1997 nary an issue.
I talked to gary once he told me the push buttons were rated for 1 million pushes is that possible?

Urs those push buttons can be rated esp if they are game buttons.
That is seriously old-school cool. I like it!
