1 For best connections use terminal strips with clamping plates.

See multiple uses at almost middle of page "Joining Wires - Positive wire connections guarantee trouble free operation. These products and practices keep the SSPRR operating with ease."

2 A screw gives a long lasting reliable connection (see above) 4-POSITION PC MOUNT TERMINAL STRIP, NUMBERED 1-4

3 Used on postwar transformer posts only and not needed with screw clamp terminals

4 This or similar fits very nicely on a control panel. SPST ON-OFF HEAVY DUTY TOGGLE SWITCH

5 Email me for the part numbers for correct sizes.

Tips: Leave wires long enough to move to other taps. Color coding wires is vital. Control boxes/spaces need to be almost two times bigger than you think. Track power switches and turnout controls need to be out of reach of most visitors. For minimum under table work mount terminal strips toward front of tables.

See Toy Train Layout Wiring for more helpful information.
