Ok, my question is simple but let me give you some background info. I'm wiring a layout based off the Atlas Great Eastern Trunk layout plan. I've made some minor modifications to the plan such as added width and length to the size of the layout plus added an additional siding, etc. I'm now ready to wire. The plan also calls for a turntable which I will install. My design for this layout is to make it moble as I've created it for my son who someday will take it with him. As such, my thoughts are to create an operator's console that can be attached and removed from the layout during moving. With single wire connections this should be no problem. However, I have muliptle places in the layout that require a common rail connection from my power supply. I'll also be using Atlas Selectors to complete the circuits for each block. My question concering common rail is this. Given I have mutiple common rail connections that require power, do you have any suggestions as to splicing these common wires to a single wire that I would then attach to my power supply..on the removable operator's console? I'm thinking I would just use wire caps but I'm wondering if there's a cleaner option? Do they make terminal bars that would take on one side multiple wires and from the other take one? C----------C-----------*-------------> to power supply C----------/ Thanks in advance for any suggestions....
