Title: Help with DCC Controller and Remote Switch LH NS E-Z Track
Post by: Boomer Man on January 06, 2011, 04:22:56 PM

Hello.

We're new to model railroads and bought the Bachmann Digital Commander starter set (http://www.trainsetsonly.com/page/TSO/PROD/160-00501 (http://www.trainsetsonly.com/page/TSO/PROD/160-00501)). We subsequently bought track to expand our set up and mistakenly bought the standard Bachmann Remote Switch LH and RH pieces that do not connect to our DCC controller.

Rather than sending back that track, my son wonders if we can simply get another power controller, specifically this one: Bachmann - Power Pack w/Speed Controller N/HO/On30 http://www.trainsetsonly.com/page/TSO/PROD/160-44212 (http://www.trainsetsonly.com/page/TSO/PROD/160-44212) and hook up our four Remote Switch track pieces to it, leaving the DCC controller to run the trains.

Thanks for helping us newbies.

Yes, you can certainly do that, ow use a wall-wort power supply. As long as you are not trying to throw 4 or 5 switches simultaneously it should be sufficient. Also you can get an old used power source which will work just as well.
