I need some sound advice from you guys on wiring my track with feeders. I have read MR's "Easy Model Railroad Wiring" and numerous other articles but am still stuck on the following: With only two connections to my main power pack for variable DC, how can I wire numerous feeders to my track using terminal strips? For example, using a 6 or 10 screw terminal strip, how can I make all the feeder wires I attach to this terminal strip active when I only have two wires available and leading out from my power pack (a model Tech II 2500). I could run bus wires under my layout, and I know how to solder the feeders to that, but I have read that this is more work and that terminal strips are somewhat better in that they organize the wires neater. But again I don't know where to place my two wires from the power pack to operate the many additional wires and feeders. (I do have three additional smaller power packs, but I was going to use them all for my other AC features) My track is code 83, no blocks, DCC, and all my turnouts are live (Atlas) Please advise and thanks for any suggestions.
