I use a product called split jaw connector. Once bolted to the track this makes a rock solid electrical contact.

To reinforce the weak spot which is the wire crimp connect to the eye loop connector I first attach a ferrule to the wire then crimp the ferrule to the eye loop.

That looks great - and just what I need for my new layout with 15 yo Atlas track that I used in my previous layout.

WHERE did you buy the "split jaw connectors"?  Or, were they home-made?

 

Thanks.

I bought the connectors from Splitjaw Products Inc. (sales@railclamp.com) - http://www.railclamp.com/

When you contact Jerry make sure he knows you are using Atlas O track. He will need to shave off some metal from his standard product.
