So _ using AC power makes no sense in reality _ especially as all involved in digital electronics agree that the quality of power supply you choose will more than any other factor dictate the eventual performance of your model railway because digital electronics in particular require smooth well filtered DC! Without it interference added to the digital commands can at best cause problems with communication and may in the extreme actually damage your precious decoders and other items. It just makes good sense to use a top quality properly regulated DC power supply.
