Save the adaptors!

No I have not lost my mind, or suddenly become a tree huger.
The fact is, these very adaptors that clog up our drawers, and or otherwise hang around for years make
perfectly good power sources for your railroad. If your like me and have lost one, or two of these in the past,
then your probably save them all now.  You get them with just about every electrical device you purchase
 these days.  Everything from your old dial up modem to a battery charger that has no batteries any longer.

Take a look at the volts and amps (to make sure its a match), you will find them clearly marked
and I bet it wont be long before you can think of a place that you needed one of these before,
 or could use one now.

Simply cut the end off, then using a meter mark the positive, and negative wires.
More than likely you will find a use for them.
