Power & Control / Re: New to Lionel-Accessory Power Question

Thank you for the reply! We’ve had a lot of fun so far.

That makes sense. I wasn’t sure if I should call it a controller or transformer since it had a separate transformer that plugs into it.

I’ve seen a few transformers pop up on marketplace for reasonable prices. Mainly CW-80’s. That would probably work for a starter layout from what I’ve researched.

Power & Control / New to Lionel-Accessory Power Question
« on: March 18, 2026, 10:21:24 pm »
Hello,

I just bought a used New York Central Flyer set from the mid nineties that is in great shape. A little maintenance and it’s running beautifully.

The set came with some extra accessories, and my son wants to set up a track with them.

The controller that came with the set 6-12885 does not have accessory terminals, and I don’t want to use the track power. Any recommendations for a dedicated power source for accessories? Something budget friendly?

I’m wanting to keep using the controller that came with the set for now, but will probably eventually upgrade if my son really gets into it.

Let me know!
