Reply to "Atlas Track wiring"

I wired my Atlas track similar to the way JohnF did above, but I didn't solder it. I used forum member Ingeniero No. 1's (Alex) method which he detailed in his layout build thread. He wanted an alternative to soldering to the track as I recall.

I stumbled into his build thread shortly before I started installing my Atlas track. So I decided to try his method. For me, it worked very well. It was also pretty easy to do after the first couple of tries figuring out the process. I was very happy I found this before I started.

Here's a link to a post with all the details and a parts list of material used for everything you need to connect your track feeds using Alex's method. Forum member ENICHTER kindly gathered up all the info from Alex's thread and put it into this single post. 

I used #16 stranded wire from OGR for the track connections as Alex did. Unfortunately I don't think they carry the wire any longer. Monoprice has a good replacement for the OGR wire in both #14 and #16 which is what I used. I can find you a link to it if you are interested. I first found this wire from a post by forum member Gilly a couple of years ago.
