i recently purchased a bachmann train set with ez command, the control does not have an ac output for accessories such as turn outs, lights, ect... i have been to several hobby shops and it seems no one has an answer on how to power accessories. i understand the older contrtols have as outputs but do i really want to buy and old controller to do this?
Dear DG,
You will have to get a small power pack with an AC terminal to power your accessories.
Have fun!

An AC wall wart works well. You can find them at garage sales for $0.25 to $0.50.
As with all of your train items, make sure that they are turned off when you leave the room. A power strip with a switch and circuit breaker is a good method to do this.
