Powerhouse 180 (sku 685226)

I have six plug-and-play items, seven lighted cars, Hero Boy Walking car, PE sound car and the locomotive running from either the included remote or the iOS app. Total of 30+ feet of track with 2 side spurs also.  All controlled from one simple switch at the Powerhouse that also provides great circuit breaker protection. With 180W and 10 amps still have plenty of power to spare. Building my own terminal track cost less than $3 for connectors; attached to an existing 10 inch Fasttrack 28D2F220-D40C-4AA1-962E-CB2B8AD7A5F6piece. This option is far less complicated, cluttered, and expensive than any other option.  I’ve yet to see any downside to this approach.

So your layout seems very similar to mine except you’re using AC. What is that connector type called?

I like how you hid the cords under the blanket. Did you just use a cheap one from Walmart type store or do you have a favorite you buy?

also, where’d you get the mountain in the background?
