Can you operate lighted buildings and other accesories using DC power?

No such thing, Ask instead of burning something up.
A little embarrassment is the worst you will suffer and I wouldn't expect that on this forum.
I would say more no than yes, but it depends on the guts of the item.
Lighted buildings: Depends on if they are just bulbs or have some circuitry in them. The Ones from MTH with the flashing signs? No.
Accessories: Some will actually work better on DC, some won't work at all.
If it uses the old vibro drive it will not work and may smoke if the voltage is very high.
If it's a true dc motor it will work faster on DC (possibly too fast).
Maybe? 
There are no stupid questions. Only actions attempted without first asking questions are stupid. Some do it all the time. Just peruse the ntsb accident investigtions.
I meant "maybe" it'll work. Some accessories work fine on DC, others don't. You have to be specific as Russell says.
