You can use the AC terminals of an old DC power pack.  Or, in my case, I used the Atlas Generator that came with my Atlas Commander DCC system that I bought several years ago.

Look on page 4 of the manual. It clearly states 16V AC Max input. This means you can use any power pack that has a 16V AC output or purchase a separate 16V transformer.

If you don't have the manual, go here;

I understand the intructions but need the power aspect of it.
