Question Regarding A/C Terminal on Bachmann EZ Command Controller

[ferroequinologist]

Hello,
I'm planning on expanding my current layout to not only be larger, but to also include rail block and crossing signals as well as traffic lights.  However, while I have detailed instructions for setting up the railroad signals, the instructions for the traffic lights simply say, "Use A/C Terminal on Power Pack."  Given that I'll be using the EZ Command DCC Controller, I'm wondering if it has an A/C terminal, and if so, where on the unit.

The EZ-Command does not have any AC Accessory terminals. You will need a seperate AC power supply for any powered accessories you plan to add. A 14 - 16VAC 'wall wart' power supply rated for at least 1 amp (1000ma) should work okay.

Hello,
Thank you for your response.  I do have some old A/C adapters, though they're only rated for 65 and 300 mA, respectively.  I did find a 16 Volt A/C adapter online that's rated for 1250 mA, so that might work.  I'm also thinking I'd have to strip the wires on the A/C adapter to connect them with those on my accessories.

I have a similar question regarding the EZ Command Controller.  I saw that Bachmann sells a DCC-equipped turntable, and I'm wondering if I could operate this with the EZ Command Controller, or if I would need to buy a separate DC Controller for it.

Bachmann power controlers included in train kits no longer have accessory ports. Bachmann will sell you a Bachmann 16V DC multi-accessory power supply Item No. 44219. You can find it in the 2021 Bachmann Williams catalog page 282. It does a pretty good job running switches. It is rated 1 Amp.

E-Z Command Digital Command Control System by Bachmann controls the switches using key 10 then the defalt key 1 thru 8.

You can hook up an older Bachmann power pack and speed controller with A/C terminals to the E-Z Command Digital Command Control System using a Black connecting cable for connecting the EZ-Command to a speed controller. Model: CABLE-EZ

Thank you for your response, Deborah .  I already have a power supply for my motorized switches, along with individual controls for each, though I'm wondering if I could operate the Bachmann DCC-Equipped turntable using the EZ Command Controller and without the need for an Auto-Reversing Module.
