The EZ Command control center does not supply an ac auxiliary output for lights and switches and so forth. You will need a separate power supply. Bachmann has the #44212 http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=209

But any basic train power supply (transformer) will do the job for you. Or, you could get yourself a 12-16 volt wall-wart type and adapt the wire to your uses. The possibilities are endless!

HO / Scratch building
April 18, 2008, 04:04:08 PM
Here is the beginning of my first attempt at scratchbuilding. This is going to be a municipal building. I intend for it look like poured concrete. It's made from styrene yard sale signs from Family Dollar and some windows and doors from my parts bin.

So now I ask for your comments and suggestions. Right now it is just sprayed with grey primer.

Who cares what any of the old fuddy-duddys say. Your right Rock. You are the president, ceo, comptroller (well maybe that's your wife). But you get the idea. Use whatever you want. I am building my first scratch-built building out of a yard sale sign (styrene plastic). So do it up, have fun and enjoy!

I like it! I use my digital camera for my videos. Are you using pink foam? Also is this layout your own design? Again Kudos!

Here's a short clip of the new Life-Like crossing gate I installed. More like "Toy-Like" if you ask me. But it was a gift, so on the layout it goes.

You aren't getting old. I'm 39. Three engines at a time is my limit.

I would call them on the phone: 800-356-3910 ext 18. It's hard to blow off some one when you are on the phone with them.

If you are looking for ads for billboards or whatever for your period layout, this site http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/adaccess/browse/ has ads dating back to 1911. It covers everything from cosmetics to airlines.

Hi again,

Here are two more video clips shot on my layout. I made a new thread because they are not of F Units. Again, any and all comments are welcome. I hope you enjoy them. (Or for those of you in Pittsburgh: I hope you'ins enjoy them and 'at) :)

That's right. The EZ-Command does not have an aux out, only power out to the track.
