[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by zachar</i> <br /><br />jsalemi, <br />so, do you take the switches, and connect one wire to the power bus, and one to the track that you want to cut the power to? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Yup, that's exactly what I'm doing. Each track has a direct connection to one side of the power bus, and then I have a connection from the other side of the bus to the first of 5 switches (they're in pretty much a line). I then just run a 20 gauge jumper wire from the power side of the first switch to the power side of the second and so on, and a 20 gauge wire from each switch to its respective track. <br /> <br />I haven't permanently mounted them yet, but I've done the above with the three tracks in the roundhouse and it works just fine. <br />
