Buss Wiring

[Giacomo]

I recently purchased a Bachmann starter train set and an expander track kit.
I cannot figure out how to install feeder wires to a buss line and the buss line to the power pack or terminal track.
Any help will be appreciated.

If you're using EZ-Track Terminal Rerailers, and the power leads that came with them, you'll have to cut the end of the lead with the plug or spade connectors off to connect to the buss.

Thank you gentlemen.

You've cleared up my confusion.

I appreciate your quick replies.

Bachmann should come up with some type of multi-hole receptacle to plug in more than one power lead for adding extra wires.

Something like the Kato 24-827 3-Way Extension Cord would be nice:


Only with EZ-Track style power connectors.

Yes. Like that. Since I'm running my figure 8 and the separate oval from my E-Z Command, I had to splice the wires together.

If you use the extensions to add the extra feeders, where do they plug into the multi accessory? You would have to cut off the plug. If you use the wire with the spade connectors, you would have to cut the spades off. The other connector would require cutting off the plug, too.
