I recently bought a miniatronics Terminal Block, 10 Screw.  I thought I knew what it was in the hobby shop, but when I got it all wired in, I think I did it wrong.  Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?  I am working on a n scale dc setup.  Lets say that the zero's under the text is the terminal block.  I am trying to connect all my terminal joiners so that I only have one set of wires running to my transformer.  I thought the first row would be for the black wires and the second row would be for the red wires.  Then I would run a single black and a single red to my transformer.  After hooking it up, I realized it did not work.  After further inspection of the block, I noticed that the screws that were across from each other were connected by a metal plate.  The guy at the shop said that all I needed to do was pop out the metal plate, but I don't see how this would change anything.  Can someone please help me, I am not sure what to do.  I thought I would use this block so that I would not need to solder all the wires together. Thanks for the help.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
