If you do a search on the forum (at the top of the page) there was a method using adhesive caulking recommended for laying track. It can be lifted with a putty knife or other thin metal blade if necessary. You will find a pdf file about the same thing on the MR site. here: http://www.trains.com/content/dynamic/articles/000/000/004/379dcjrm.asp - Click on the link. Soldering is the best way to connect your bus to feeders, but the suitcase connectors are good too. You will find there are about 1/2 dozen answers to any given question, none of which are more right than others, although one might be "more right" for your situation. If you have time (or no money) then solder the wires. If you have money (or no time) get the suitcase connectors. Your bus wire should approximately follow the track plan, and make sure you know which wire is which, so you don't create a short by connecting the feeders to the wrong side of the track. The terminal block should have the sides insulated from each other. You can put the power "in" at one end, and then just connect the accessories to each of the remaining pairs. If you have a multimeter, you can confirm that the terminal block is set up this way. Good luck, and have fun! Andrew
