Lionel Trains Z TransformerThe Lionel Type Z Transformer was carried over from pre-war production and was available in from 1945 until 1947. Capable of producing 250 Watts on four independent circuits each producing 6-25 Volts, the TYPE Z was the largest of the pre-war transformers to be produced during the post-war period. This transformer did not have a built-in whistle or directional control and is used in conjunction with the No. 167 Whistle Controller that added these features.

While the demand for this transformer is not as great as the TYPE ZW it is, none the less, in demand today because of the power that it offers to selectively control accessories.
