Does anyone know what the spare is for? It has "CON1" printed on it, and looks the same size as the PCB decoder, but has no chip on it, only a printed track between pin 1 and pin 6, and a second uniting pins 2,4 and 5. Will this allow my engine to run on a DC track if I wish?

It also has:

F7247
PCB02
REV:A

Written on both sides.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks you two, i'm embarrassed to see the part for sale on this very website.... But since it isn't obviously available from the UK site i'll buy myself some plugs like you said. Thanks again.

What are the requirements for a DC controller if I want to use it to input into the "DC controller" input socket of my E-Z Command centre? Is it only the "#44212 power pack" Bachmann accessory product?
Nobody who offers that for sale seems to include the "Black Interconnecting Power Cable" to plug into the E-Z unit, does anybody know what type of plug that lead has?
Finally, what input requirements and restrictions are there likely to be? Quick research so far suggests that these supply units work at 12V and less than 1Amp, is there any danger of doing damage to the E-Z unit?
