Use on terminal strip for the positive side and another for the negative side. One row of the terminal strip is used as a buss and the second row is where you connect additional lines to the track. You do the same for a separate buss line for accessories. stripping wire Midway and wrapping a wire connection off of the bare wire is do 50's and amateurish. The terminal strip is not only more professional looking but give a better connection than trying to tap in a line on an existing line. Not to mention the cost for a terminal strip is cheaper than your lunch.
So you are sure this way will work? I just buy some of the terminals and I'm guessing I strip the wire when it goes through the first lockon directly after the transformer. From there I connect it to a terminal and then on the opposite side of the terminal I connect to different areas of the layout? This process is then repeated with the accessories right?
Remember that my layout is only 4x12 and a ZW can cover it without the buss wiring. I just want the train to run without my constant supervision as it slows down on the far ends of the layout.
