So my question is can this controller be powered by something other than a 18v transformer. I thought about trying to power one with a standard 32v marklin transformer. Is this compatable or will it overload it? I know nothing about this controller and can find very little information on it. Regards, Kevin

This thingy runs on 18 V DC normally. I don't know if a transformer with 16 V AC could also be used (manual says: never use anything else). You won't get more power even if it should work.

Is this control designed to operate with certain types of digital locomotives like maybe only ones with DC motors? How would the accessories operate off a DC transformer? Maybe with the accessories it dosen't matter. Dosen't sound like it was meant to be hooked up to an exsisting AC layout. Any thoughts or knowlege on this appreciated.

Modern digital controllers require exclusive power supplies - you don't hook any accessories onto the same power supply. Märklin locos either have DC motors or AC/DC motors. When running digital, there always is an alternating polarity on the track. The 67025 can run locos. It can't even change the address of locos, so when you buy locos make sure they use one of the four main Delta addresses (24, 60, 72, or 78). The cheapo IR controller can change addresses. With an MS2 you can change more than just the addresses.
