ground white

 

You should use no less than 8 barrier strips on that layout(maybe more). 

 

in your case the wiring off the barrier strips would go to the TIU and other components would differ but the basic idea is there.

 hope this helps.

aubv,

he has two MTH 12 port terminal boards.50-1014  One feed hot and common in, 12 pair out.

 

Color coding is always good.

Moonman,

Undestood, however wiring the layout doesn't stop at powering the track. In my opinion, there are better options than the MTH terminal boards.
