Plate 258:  The Railpower 1440 is acting exclusively as a source of accessories current
(This plate added NOV 2003)

This picture of the Railpower 1440, with wires attached only to the AC binding posts, emphasizes the fact that the sole responsibility of this unit at this time is to supply current to accessories, such as point motors and lights.

The Railpower 1440 is, of course, an extremely capable controller, as stated in Plate 255, and could readily be used to power the entire layout.
