Reply to "Woodland Scenics Street Lamps electrical problems"

I'm still working on this.  I don't understand.  I have 2 lamps I am trying to power up.  Do these tiny wires have insulation?  If so how do they expect you to shave off these tiny wires?  They ship with a tiny strand of wire exposed, from there they want you to twist into one??  What I'm telling y'all there is not enough exposed wire, which is finer then one strand of hair on my head, to twist.  Or am I am doing something wrong?  This has caused me to put my layout on hold for 45 days, I came back to it 2 days ago with a fresh mind.

I've been trying to put 2 wires in in the linker plug, I get one to work, and when I try to add the other nothing works.  Has to be a easier way.  Do these plugs cut into the wire to establish contact?  Or do you need to have the tiny exposed wire touching something?  I'm so frustrated by this I'm seriously thinking about selling out and giving up on his hobby.  I was doing pretty good, and my layout is almost finished, but until I get the lights working none of that matters.

Currently my 2 lamps have no exposed wires, just blunt.  Now how am I suppose to shave that tiny wire?  Nothing I have comes close to doing that, buy maybe somebody makes a tool for that, if so tell me where to find it.

Can anybody suggest something other than woodland scenics?  Something like Menard's plug and play which is much easier to work with, but they don't make street lamps.  Right now all this thing is doing is taking up space in my office.  Any ideas are welcome.
