JUST PURCHASED A MTH Z-4000 OVER THE ZW, ITS WORKS EASY AS FAR AS PROGRAMING PURCHSE PRICE $375. HOPE I GOT A GOOD DEAL TONY

Good choice IMO. Enjoy.

You won't be sorry. Plenty of trouble free power for years n years.

how many loops can you power wit ha Z 4000?

You might want to run this question past Barry B in the DCS section. I'm running 4 loops thru a TIU but this transformer may be able to handle more. My 4 loops= 2 elevated subway sets, 1 long Steam engine w/mixed freight, and 1 diesel baggage train.

as of now two, wait ti hear from other's on how to power 4 tony

I finally split between loops when the amps got up to 8 amps. Because I run multiple trains on a loop, I have limited my Z4000 to a single loop for each handle upon which I run 3 to 4 trains (6 to 8 engines) on each loop loop.
