Hi all,

I am going to use an SC-1 to run a few accesories and the manual says I need to power it with a Lionel 12 volt wallwart (wallpack), part #610-2860-020. Since I do not possess one of these, but do have a passle of wallwarts of various descriptions, I would like to know  is this thing AC or DC, if dc which part of the plug is possitive, And lastly(I think) what type of plug does it use (eg 5mm?)   I am pretty certain one of you forumites can help me with this. I am always impressed by the vast amount of wisdom and Knowledge that is available here! Thanks for your help!

Carl  S.

While the instructions specify 7-20V AC, for those applications that do need a power adapter can you use a DC-output adapter?  I'm thinking of, for example, the MTH DCS controller which also specifies an AC-output adapter but turns out it can take AC or DC.  I figure there are more DC adapters lying around unused in closets...
