I purchased the Santa Fe War Chief - Flat River Set (Item No. #00746) with the E-Z Tracks for my sons.  It comes with the CEC Wall Pack w/Speed Controller.  At an old Mom and Pop model train store, I found a remote turnout, but it turns out that the remote turnout has a cord with spade terminals on it, but the speed controllers I have do not have the A.C. accessory terminals like the BACHMANN HO 46605A SPEED CONTROLLER. 

How can I get the remote turnout to work with the speed controller I have?

Scrounge up a 16V wall-wart rated for at least 1 amp (1,000 ma) and use it for the switch motors. It doesn't matter if it's AC or DC.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
