[?] I'm beginning my second small layout over the past few years and must admit I'm still learning a lot about wiring. Since my current layout will handle no more than two trains I don't have the urge to go DCC. I'm working on a 6x10 table top with elevations to 4" using styrofoam. This question may sound simple, but I'm asking to eliminate some current flow problems I've had in the past. Using a bus wire is a must. What is the best way to connect the feeder wires? Do you splice the block feeder to the end of the bus and splice a new bus to the same connection or is there a simple way to splice the feeder to the bus without cutting and resplicing the bus wire? If I need to splice the feed directly to the bus wire is there an easy way to remove the bus insulation at the splice point without cutting the bus wire and resplicing it? I've done the double splice in the past, but sometimes I got bad connections between block sections. Thanks for any recommendations you may have. Joe kerrskountry@inter-linc.net
