Just wire it up to power as Sean said, with a simple toggle switch. I don't know if your LED's will stay on without turning the whole unit on, but, they should.

Jerry,
To clarify, will wiring the hot and common wires turn it on whenever they’re connected? In other words, if I keep power always on the sawmill will constantly run? But using a switch will only make it run when I want?
Thanks for all the help!
Seth
No it will not run. It is controlled by the computer board on the Command Control versions. The power leads are hot 100% of the time, but until it receives the Command it will not turn on. These require a Lionel command system to run.
Thanks, Sean, for setting us straight. Mine is a lot older model, but, I never heard of this one. Seems odd that you can't run it plain, without the electronics.
Does anyone have a video of the command/control sawmill in action?
