Reply to "Accessory DC Power Supply"

In the fine print it says they're compatible with A.C. or D.C.  My friend Justin Case would stick a diode in series with the common lead.



I strongly suggest you mind Justin's advice.  You only need 1 diode to protect all your signals.  If you have a DIY electronic buddy they would have and gladly give you a suitable 5-cent diode...otherwise something like this would work from a US eBay seller:

Insert diode like this:

Your diagram shows 4 signals.  You can use the remaining 8 (or 11) pairs of the 12-port MTH terminal block to distribute Accessory AC to any other accessories.  That is, you show the Z-1000 brick ONLY powers the MTH terminal block (18V AC track power output unused).  The Z-1000 brick can supply 80 Watts of power thru the Accessory AC output.  4 signals as you indicate will use at most 1 Watt of power!  What are you going to do with the other 79 Watts?!
