Okay, thank you

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

 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.

Aristocraft rail joiners
Posted by IRB Souther Engineer on Friday, January 8, 2010 5:13 PM

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.
