Hey Guys, Next question related to the 4x8 layout I'm building... I've built the bench work in sections so I can disassemble and move/store the layout if need be. It is made up of six sections. Three of them are 18" x 48", two are 24"x30" and one is 12"x48", as seen below - indicated by the blue lines. There will be a 24" high dividing backdrop down the center, as illustrated. [img]http://www.haashole.com/images/fourby8.jpg[/img] So my question is, what is the best way to connect the wiring between these modules? The wiring won't be anything fancy - just two bus wires, running the lenght of each section. This is a real basic layout - power needed for track only - and maybe some lighted structures some day, but the turnouts will all be controlled via ground throws. I once connected an extension to a previous layout, and i used banana plugs to connect the wires from the layout to the wires for the extension. This worked ok, but there was still wires dangling with the banaplugs at the end. This isn't a huge deal - but I thougth maybe I'd pose the question to the forum to see if any new ideas pop up I hadn't thought of. Thanks for reading, John
