HO / New to hobby.....

My 8 yr old son received a Chattanooga train set from Santa.  I have just set up the track and train and everything works great.  I have one question at the moment...the speed controller has an "accessory connection" however the instructions state that it "is capable of powering one accessory item at a time." Is this really true?  I understand the rating of the power pack is 16VAC / 1A, what is the current draw of the loco its self?  We did get lighted bank building to go with it, which has a 12-16VAC bulb, no other rating info is given.  Assuming that we would like to add additional electrical accessories later, what type of accessory power supply would we need?  Unless I missed it somewhere I did not see one here on this site, I did see the power supply/speed controller; but don't need the speed controller at this point.  Is there one that is "accessory only"?  Any links to pictures/descriptions of them would be great.  Thanks in advance for your help. 

Happy New Year
