Reply to "Wiring Woodland Scenics Buildings with Transformer to Light Hub??"

Can I wire the woodland scenics lighthub to AC transformer?   I believe I can run transformer directly to each building or get a 24 volt DC power source to the light hub, but I would like to just use transformer power to the light hub to not have to cut off the plug connectors.



Depends which WS building you have.  As discussed in this old OGR thread, WS used to make buildings that could be directly powered from a train transformer's Accessory AC voltage.  These buildings had what amounted to a "Light Hub" built into the building itself providing brightness control.  See photos in the linked post.

My understanding of what happened is WS went "all-in" with their Just Plug lighting system and their current selection of buildings require a Light Hub.  You will blow up the building lights (LEDs) if you run your AC transformer directly to a building meant to be used with their Just Plug system.

As suggested by @Boilermaker1 you can buy cables and connectors from WS.
