On30 / Would like to see in On30...

Would love to see a version of the Tom Thumb in On30.  The recreation at the B&O Museum in Baltimore is mostly from notes and some sketches made after the fact.  Sorry that Peter Cooper (inventor of gelatin) didn't leave behind some drawings.  But it would be a great model, especially with some coaches behind it.  I have a selfish reason, and that is that my great great great grandfather, James Millholland, at the age of 18, helped build it.  I wish he'd left some notes.

I'm putting together a layout for my granddaughters (yeh, that's it!), and so far I see that I am not suppose to connect the turnouts "...TO DC TERMINALS, AS THIS WILL OVERLOAD YOUR ACCESSORY ITEM."  Well, before reading that far I did connect to the track voltage, and all I got was a humm.  So are these turnouts powered by AC, and where does that come from?  I am using a Bachmann E-Z Command Control Center controller, and there are no terminals for AC, as there seem to be on lesser Bachmann controllers.

After you stop laughing, I'd be very grateful for the answer.   ;D
