QUOTE: Originally posted by johncolley Go to Free-mo.org and check out the standards using Cinch-Jones connectors. To be a "Module" it must be able to connect in either direction, anywhere in the set-up. That is the subtle difference between sectional and modular. jc 5729
QUOTE: Originally posted by tcf511 This is an alternative being used in module groups now. The Anderson Power Pole connector. It is supposed to be easier and less expensive yet more reliable. I am building a layout entirely out of modules and will be using these. http://www.ntrak.org/ntrak_powerpole_rp.htm

QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole It's about time the plug and socket standard for modules be revised to something other than those Cinch-Jones connectors. I understand the reasoning for selecting the Cinch-Jones connector was its polarization so the electrical connection between modules made by different people would be the same and interchangeable, but the last time I tried to purchase some of them I could find only one source -- Mouser Electronics in Mansfield, Texas, and they had nearly tripled in price.
