<p>[quote user="bearman"]</p> <p>Is there any reason why designers and manufacturers of DCC equipment do not include and on-off switch on thier units?  I have the NCE Power Cab and just installed a NCE SB5 booster and having to unplug the booster is a bit of an irritation when I have to work on my layout and dont want the tracks powered.</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Not sure why there is not a switch on the SB5.  You might consider having an electrician wire the electrical outlet it is plugged into through a new lightswitch on the wall, possibly near the room entrance, so that you can shut the layout off with the room lights when you leave.  I have heard of other modelers doing this.  I plan to make this modification to my train room.  </p>
