[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jumico This is probobly a stupid question but do I need to buy a power supply in adition to the powerpack. [/quote] A power pack should handle all of your requirements, both track and accessories, as long as you don't have any big current hogs. if you plan to run multipl unit lashups in trains or have lots of accessory lighting, etc. then you might want to invest in a multimeter to check that the current draw for the whole layout doesn't excedd the ratings of the power pack. If you have an excessive number of accessory type stuff that exceeds the accessory rating of the power pack, you could use another external power supply or "wall-wart" to power your accessories. Doug
