I have an MTH Z750, at least that's what the transformer claims. 
Yes, I have the MTH 50-1012 set which is compatible with the Z500 or Z750. My point is simply that this MTH product is not compatible with MTH trains, that's it.
The CW-80 is listed in a number of both MTH and Lionel instruction manuals as not compatible, so it's no surprise that you sometimes have issues. It so happens that I have run ProtoSound 1 locomotives with it without issue, but I stop short of saying that all of them would work properly. However two of two MTH ProtoSound 1 locomotives did NOT work with the MTH IR Lockon remote control.
