Any 3 rail AC Transformer designed to run O Gauge trains will do the job.

For O-gauge you have three basic options:

1. Get a decent AC transformer that supplies at least 16 volts to the track, preferably with both a whistle and bell operating button.

2. Get a TMCC or DCS conversion kit (the two systems are not compatible) from either Lionel or MTH, the appropriate control system, and an 18VAC power supply. Major $$$ involved with this.

3. Since it already has a can motor, remove the existing reverse unit and sound module, but keep the speaker. Install a DCC sound decoder rated for G-scale and operate using a DCC system. You'll need a DCC power supply rated 2.5 amps or better.

If you can still return the ZW, you might look around for one of these:

You can install the BlueRail board which is the heart of the Bachmann EZ-APP. I have done this successfully on eight OGauge locos and they all work well. The BlueRail website has details for this conversion.
