Thanks, Bob. A narrow guage guy who is an electronics expert told me it would
"cause problems". I'll look for the solderless connectors. I think I know
what you mean: are they called "suitcase connectors"?
Look forward to seeing you next week. Roger

Roger, I used typical 12 gauge solid core housewiring for the buss and it
worked fine for me. Others have recommended going with stranded wire. I
recommend using the new type crimp solderless connectors for running the
jumpers. I can't tell you what they really are called. I bought a mess on
e-bay for about 4 cents apiece--beats dropping hot solder in your lap and they
work fine with 12 gauge wire with a smaller wire for the jumpers.
On the other hand some guys running DCC using these automatic power
district block devices are saying that the buss really doesn't work as you need
both wires to go to each power sub-district!

that, other than having to cut open the plastic sleeve when making a connection?
