This EZ Line wire, is it really wire? I used winding wire from Radio Shack for mine and acutally fed power to the building for lignts through it. Ran all the wires our of a power sub-station. Had 3-8 gang rocker switches in the top of the transformer so I could turn lights on & off in the buildings, yard lights, street lights, etc. Only problem was that the wire was blue and really showed up in photos. On by next layout, I will look for block wire.
