Hello!

I have a Bachmann DCC set and a Track Pack with remote switches with some connecting wires. Unfortunately, they do not connect to the EZ Command Control Center. What do I need to 'hook up' the remote switches so that I can use them? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You need a power supply, AC between 9 and 15 Volts, and 500mA (½A) or more.

An old trainset powe pack work well for this - the AC accessory terminal.  You can also purchase a "wall wart" from Wal-mart, Radio Shack and other suppliers, like this one:

Just cut off the plug on the end, strip the ends and attach to the controller switch.
