This is for the bachman man or any body!! Why hasnt someone designed or built a controller box that can run multiple tracks ?? electronic components i think would be cheap. you know take the e-z command and be able to program and control 4 tracks out of one box.

My plans are i think, run 2 seperate tracks off the one dcc controler. My rhird set will be dc only on its seperate controller seperate from the other 2 tracks. essntisly 3 loops 2 on one dcc controller, and one on a dc controller none inter connected does that make sense?? I think i may have confused myself ;D ???

Hi Guys: You got me to thinking on my own ,thanks for that !! I was reading and ran across doorbell transformers at home depot, fairly in exspensive 15> 30.00 many with multiple ac outputs 6 volt to as high as 30 volt ac all from 110 volt input!! Seeing as how many of my accessorries are varied, this might be ideal. i have several lionel toys that range from 6 volt ac to 12 voltac!! someare dc, but that not a problem wih a miniature dc power supply, it was the ac worrying me.!! BUt think got handleonit now thanks to replies, new would find answers here!! ;)

Greetings: I have severaldifferent items  for my trains, such as rotating light up airport beacon, then have a rotating radar ower, and want to add lights, street lights and several other scene scape items. Some are 6-12 volt dc max. But some are 6-8 volt <AC> max. So what do yoiu guys use power supply wise for all your extra's?? Need al help i can get starting major project soon.

HI TO ALL: Well i am back again with questions, dont ya just love it ;D I was correctly advised by some guys here that i need to put body mount couplers on a few of my cars which have the famed talgo trucks :D Okay admittedly learning, went the kaydee site, and it was like all greek to me. So if I may ask can someone advise what couplers complete, that i need to get and install.

Side question: I have some accessories that run off 16 volts >>AC<< apparently there isnt a hobbyist ac power supply for ac like for dc?? guess i could buy bunch of the cheap controllers with ac output, but might take several as seems each one is only capable of handling one accessory. Any and all ideas are welcome, as the grandson enjoys the little action accessories as much as the trains.

Hey:Checked with bachman parts andthey told me I cannot get the screws from them??? So am now searching internet for them. I would think since the screws are used on their products they would at least have a few they would sell to customers. Go figure!!!

HI: After examinig closely,I see that the horn hook couplers are just mounted in the tounge rail with a little screw. the coupler made of cheap plastic has a plastic type spring.So next question: does kadee make a I guess adapter thatscrews in to the tongue to put kadee hitches/couplers on the tongue??? if so what do i need to order??? Sorry to a pita, but very new to all of this. Thanks to all who respond and advise!!!!!
