@Joe Fauty posted:I apologize for the mess. This is a 'table top' test crcuit for testing relays and signals before I install them under the layout. However the concept is still the same. I cut the terminal strips in half and use 4 under the layout for the various connections.
I use 22 or 20 gauge wire but I add wire ferrules to the ends that go into the terminal strips. They make a much better connection. The wire 'loops' you see are the shorting 'bars'. Setting up under the layout will entail adding length on to the wires from the 1000 / 1002.
I really liked your idea about using those ferrules I have had my share of problems using the wire as it comes and getting it to clamp into these plastic terminal strips. Thanks!
