@Chills posted:...I have a number of those Lionel connections and was intending to use them to connect my power by “clamping” them to the track. But I have seen a number of people talking about soldering wires for a more positive connection. Had never seen that done. I have both the skill and equipment to do so… is that how you all suggest I connect power? Thanks again. Wonderful thread!
Let me say that just about everything you said count me in.
Re the above, the other complicating thing for the CTC lock ons is if you buy new tubular track from Menards, they will not fit without adjusting to the clamping posts, and even then they will sometimes disconnect if you bump them. I've spent a lot of time trying to see why things aren't running only to find out that the lockon is off.
Based on the OPs recommendation I bought 2 'PP11-0-10.0A-OB-V ' from onlinecomponents.com, and they should arrive today.
