what do you folks use to power your accessories - for example, the lanterns, the brown and yellow wires - where do you plug them into?

Hi Db ICE3. I power my turnouts with the track power, my ECOS 2 has more than enough power for that, and I don't have the lights in the switches. For all other accessories, lighting, two cranes, and eventually my signals, I use extra marklin transformer. One exception, I do use a separate DC transformer from a cell phone charger to power my Emergency Light LED circuits for my fire engines in one of the scenes.

I hope that helps.

Chris
