Thanks, Martin. I'll print your comments. It may well be that the Zephyr's 2.5 amps will suffice to run my layout, but it would be nice to have the Bachmann...
The DS51K1 takes its power and commands from the DCC track signal and generates the DC of proper polarity to control the turnout. No additional power source...
