I probably should have asked this before I bought one. The one I bought works fine but it occurred to me that I should know if repair is available if needed. Thanks; Don

Not if the Motherboard gives out. They were obsolete a couple of years ago.
Hope your new purchase has many years of trouble free operating time!
Don you might try Dale Manquen, he is a member here, he may fix ZW-Cs.

I believe Dale does work on the ZW-C, but I'd wait until it needs repair.
Don,
One other known issue is an incompatibility with the Legacy control system and the ZW-C.
The ZW-C interprets one of the Legacy commands as "halt" and shuts down the entire system.
It's tough to pinpoint as it doesn't affect all ZW-C's and the conditions that cause it are difficult to determine.
Nonetheless, if this does occur, Lionel does have a replacement chip for the ZW that solves the problem. It's pretty easy to install yourself.
If you're not running Legacy, there is no issue.

Thanks for all the information. So far it works fine. With a little luck it will never need repair. Don
