I have got to get some photos and video posted here...but 'til then...

I have added a "few" electrically powered accessories to my Jensen 51 replica.  Each runs off the DC voltage generated by the 51R's built in stepper motor generator.  These include:

1) two light posts on the 51R itself
2) light/motor combination on the 51R itself

REMOTE ACCESSORIES arranged around the 51R:
3) Karsten Gintchel ferris wheel with LED lights
4) plasma ball
5) St. Paul Steam windmill (converted to an electric motor drive)
6) two separate N scale electric trains
7) carousel with sound, rotation and moving horses
8) seasonally swap a small lighted Christmas tree for the carousel
...
I have a DC powered marble machine kit as my next accessory, but need the help of my 18 year old grandson to build it...something like 700+ parts!

I can't run all the accessories at the same time, but have run up to four simultaneously.  Always looking for more DC accessories I can power from the 51R.
