Any advice on how to connect a fuse in the wire from TIU to track? My TMCC layout uses powermaster wiring harnesses that have the fuses built right into the wires. It just dawned on me I won't have this luxury. I picked up some 6 amp fast blow fuses from Ace Hardware but they didn't have any connectors to hold the fuses. I'll probably order some 10 amp fuses from Mouser to replace these. I suppose I could tape splice a wire and tape the whole darn thing but I'd like something a bit better.

I use ATO/ATC fast blow fuses. You can pick up a fuse holder for them with wires attached at any auto parts store (Advance, Autozone, etc.). The ATO/ATC fuses come in 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 amp ratings. 5 should be fine for your use.
