[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Medina1128 The hobby name for what you're looking for is a terminal block or strip. If you visit your LHS (local hobby shop) they should be able to hook you up.

Essentially it's a strip of metal with screw terminals on either end all in one block. You can jumper multiple blocks together with wire if you want to make multiple attachment points. This is what I'm doing for my layout. There's a wiring board in the center underneath, and that's where I'm wiring my DCC control circuitry (autoreverser for now, maybe block detection later). Wires run from there to the blocks, so then it's just a simple matter of hooking up the feeders to the connections on the edges. No under table soldering, thankfully!
