Can it be plugged into a power strip instead of directly into the wall switch?

I have mine plugged into a power strip. Mine is a robust power strip. Just make sure that all the things plugged into your strip don't exceed the strip's capabilities.

yes... Word of advice... if you are going to use it a lot, clean the tracks a lot... the train itself is not a very good one... but its okay for just christmas time... use a better train for regular use... not too expensive...

No. I have a power block plugged in and was able to use the outlets next to it. Very nice power strip at a good price.

Yes, provided the outlet has a grounding socket (which all outlets in N. America do). Of course it would be subject to the same ramifications from water, humidity, moisture, dirt, etc. as anything else you plug into an outdoor outlet. The power strip wouldn't be of much use outdoors as the cord is very short. It was designed more for the hotel desk lamp outlet for the on-the-go Traveler.

I haven't but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. The plug just acts as an outlet & the power strip would be no different from any other device you were using. I just wouldn't load the strip up with a lot of things because it may draw too much current. One or 2 devices on the strip should be OK.

Yes you can plug the power supply into a wall switch. I suspect the dinner would retain its setting.

You can plug two of these into a standard two outlet wall connection. Not sure about a power strip.

Yes. Just power it with the usb connection. If you want to plug it into the wall you will need something like this. http://www.voltage-converter-transformers.com/product_info.php?category_id=10016467&products_id=10061337

No, it needs to be directly wired into a new set of wiring, or what I did, which is install on existing wiring. It isn't designed to be plugged in.

No! Mine almost caught on fire and it melted the power strip and my wall outlet. It says in the manual not to plug it into a power strip, but I didn't see that until it was too late.

Can they be plugged into a dedicated extension cord that is not a power strip or surge protector?

NO. Would be absolutely dangerous to plug its pins into a wall outlet. You might see an electrician do it but if you need to ask the question then you are not qualified to try it.

No. The supplied power brick is a non-switching 110v. You will have to find a compatible power brick to use it

It has a power cord with a plug for plugging it into an outlet. If you know enough about wiring i'm sure you can wire it direct.

Thankfully no - you can put whatever type power strip or USB hub in it that suites your needs.

I plug it into a heavy-duty surge strip but I am not certain that is the way to do it.

Not directly. It comes with a plug for wired systems. I suppose you could attach a power cord to it, but you'd be better off buying the kind that comes with an ac cord if you want to plug it in.

No, but if one unit is plugged into the lower outlet of a duplex wall socket, another cord can be plugged in above. One could plug a short power strip into just one unit. Or, a very short cord, such as used to connect power supplies to a power strip, could connect the second unit to the duplex. I have just done both.
