Reply to "Track Power Distribution"

Gentlemen, I don't know if this is where I ask the question, but might as well try.  I had a snakes nest under my track that my dad put together for me 60 years ago.  So I ripped all the wiring out, thinking no problem.  It is tedious but no problem, EXCEPT I had to rewire my switch controllers.  All of the rubber was coming off of those cute little flat multiwire cords from the controller to the switch.  I will be running 11 volts fixed from my 1033 to operate the switches.  I cannot figure out how to wire the 11 volts into the switch.  I am using 4 wiring blocks with 10 or 12 pairs of terminals each.  U block. A block. B block. C block. Each pair is independent of the other pairs on the block.  I am UA for my track power.  No problem. 

For the switches do I just connect a B terminal jumper over to a C terminal, then run my power wire to the switch from the C terminal for my 11 volts?  I have found nothing that addresses this question and I don't want to burn the garage down.  This AC stuff is killing me. 

Then my next project is to figure out the terminals on the switch itself.

Wiring Blocks

Can I assume the middle one is ground from the controller?

Then my next project is to convert my controllers on my remote control set type UCS to DPDT momentary switches with a center rest.  Is that possible?

I thank you in advance for your help.  I have three grandsons that are 7 and down awaiting an operating layout.
