Found these in my old HO parts box. Do you remember them?
Photo is too tiny for me, and it doesn't seem like it will enlarge. If they are terminal strips, yes, I do know about terminal strips, but, these don't look like the terminal strips that I know of. Trying to see what you have, looks like something that will snap on the track anywhere. I always had a piece of track that had the connections, if thats what your trying to show.
I solder feeder wires to the track.

Hi! See my updated post.
Each is about an inch long that can be attached to the track any place.
Got them back in the early 1950's from Polk's Hobby in N.Y.C. Used them until I "discovered" terminal track.
Thanks for the reply.
I've seen them before.....but would never use them. See how tarnished the brass is? So goes your electrical pick-up and your track was also brass. I learned how to solder when I was 8, with My Dad's space gun soldering iron....that's what it reminded me of. I handlaid My track....way cheaper. Atlas brass code 100 on 25ft long fiber tie strip's. Started in HO 1950 on a 4x8 right above My bed....which used to be a bunk bed. Kept both head boards and steel frame with the springs removed....just layed a sheet of plywood on the steel frame, one 1/4'' bolt at each corner. I slept on the lower bunk. Did all by myself......My Dad was not into trains. Learned it all on My own.........
Take Care!
