Just purchased a "Worlds Greatest Hobby" track set. Kit lacked switch wiring instructions. Would appreciate assistance in proper wiring instructions. Obviously we are very new to the hobby.
Thanks for the response. We will give it a try.
I made the same purchase along with the DCC Commander. How about the wiring with the DCC controller? Where do I get voltage?
Big time rookie!

DCC systems rarely have auxiliary outputs so basically, you need some other source of power. A dc power pack will work, or a 'Wall Wart' power supply. A wall wart looks like a fat plug with a small cable coming out of it. Look for one rated at 12 to 16 volts at 500 milliamps to 1 amp. AC or dc makes no difference. The cable will probably have a small plug on the end opposite the wall wart. Just cut it off and wire the wires to your switch motor controls.
