I ordered the aristocraft rail clamps (ART- 11930B) from Trainworld, (they arrived today), and I was wondering if they were supposed to come with the wires to connect the joiner to a transformer, etc.
Does anyone know?
Here is a picture of the rail clamps and the wires that I thought they came with.
No they don't come together. Its a separate item (ART11950, I think). I bought some because I wanted to use them as a jumper for a short section of track I was having an issue with. They work fine for that but the wire gauge is far too light to use as a main power connection. You should be able to directly solder your wire to the clamp or get small ring terminals at home depot or radio shack.

Okay, thank you
I didn't need them for main wiring... just making sure Trainworld wasn't cheating me out of an item!
