franz t i can't thank you enough, that's exactly what i was looking for!
i can't state enough, all i needed was a simple solution and you provided, thank you so much

so on the speed controller where it say's accessory's output all i have to do is, instead of only haveing one accessory tap into it and run 2 from it?

thanks,
i understand exactly what you saying and everything but it's the wiring im confused on. how would i wire accessory's into another power pack?

*edit* instead of using a power pack to run  the accessory's through d/c current could i run them through a battery?

so you mean one power source on the speed controller and track, and another for all the accessory's?
how would i do that? my track, so far a 4 switches for turnouts and stuff but how would i wire them into a separate power supply?

thank you
i understand the way of getting more power to another area of the track but how do i get more accessory's when there is only one output for one accessory? would i tap into it and run extra wires to the extra accessory's? the problem is with too many accessory's wouldn't the circuit keep breaking and the track would lose to much power?

 :) so i have this new set from here and the speed controller only allows one accessory,
my dilemma is....
1: how do i make my layout bigger with only one terminal/derailleur ?!?!?!?!!?
becuase the bigger i make the track the more current it needs
2: how do i get more accessory's without upgrading the speed controller?!?!?!?!!?
