<p>Tim,</p><p>A very good book that covers many of the topics you mention is </p><p>"A Beginners Guide to Creative Effects for your Model Railroad." Do a Google and a couple of retailers will pop up. </p><p>It's a little pricey, but it goes from very simple projects and subjects, covers basics, and moves on to more complicated things. I highly recommend it.</p><p>I've used a lot of terminal strips in the past, but I dislike the fiddling needed to add/change wires. It seems like one wire will always manage to slip out when you're trying to tighten the screw. <span class="smiley">[sigh]</span></p><p>I'm actually thinking about designing a simple distribution board that uses the "european" type connectors that clamp down on wires via a small screw on top. I use them on my other electronic boards and they are a bit easier to use. </p><p>Phoebe vet: [masked explicative removed] nice wiring, dude. But waaaay too organized ... <span class="smiley">[swg]</span></p><p><span class="smiley">Mike Tennent</span></p>
