Can someone please tell me which Rails go to Rail A and B on Bachmann Power Terminal Rwrailer to the electrical prongs on Bachmann Curved Terminal Rerailer?
Which Prong goes to Rail "A" and which Prong goes to Rail "B"
I have to place drop power feeders at the other end of my layout
and I have to make sure to match Rail A with A and Rail B with B
I could pull up the track and take it apart but not an option.

Please see EZ-TRACK Terminal  ???picture.

The best way to do this is to use an ohmmeter. Unplug your power supply, set the meter to read infinite ohms, and plug in your second set of feeders. Use the leads of the Ohmmeter to read resistance across the rails. A low reading will mean you have a short circuit. remove the plug from one of your terminal rerailers, flip it over, then plug back in. The resistance between the rails should now be much higher. If so, plug the power supply back in and test run your trains. You should be good.

Welcome.

Also, you need a photo hosting site to post photos to forums.
There are free ones.
Edit. As was explained. A photo is worth a thousand words. You will need it in the future.

Since you're loading your pics to Flickr, it's fairly simple to post them here in the forum.

Click on the Flickr link and open it in a seperate tab. Then click the (+) cursor on the pic to expand it.
Right click on the pic and select "Inspect Element". A sub-window should open below the pic.
In the sub-window you should see a line that says, "class=zoom large" followed by "src".
Right click on the URL after "src" and select "copy link address".
You should get: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50506683222_e45730fb83_b.jpg
Paste that URL between img tags like this, only without the spaces:
[ img ]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50506683222_e45730fb83_b.jpg [ /img ]

And you get your pic in your post:


It's a lot easier, and faster, to do than to explain.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
