Richie, I used the euro style terminal blocks and cut them in pairs. I have 14awg from transformer to TIU to distribution blocks, 16awg paired wire from OGR to all drops, and 18awg drops from track. .110 spade connectors at Fastrack, set screws at drops,crimped fork ends at distribution block, and banana plugs at TIU and transformer. I tried to stay within the 12 track joints per block. I don’t have each block switched, but twelve sidings are. Worked well for me for four years. The layout is 16 x 20 “U” shaped, with the MTH blocks at the bottom of the “U”.AFAA38C1-3553-45C9-A6B3-E120B9FDFDFCB0BA393B-D3AF-4109-B7B3-BA2EF8C58873

Thanks, John. That looks almost exactly like what I have planned.

Hard to tell from the picture, but which side is the TVS on - feeder from track or distribution block to drop ?
