Yes I'm using the MRC Tech II powering the switches and rails. Is that bad? Thanks

Hi Joe, you are correct! I want to stay from the 44598 $10 green wire. Those can add up real quick. I want to stay more along the lines of cutting and splicing the wires. Where can I get scrap cat5 wire at? So would it be as simple as cutting and splicing on the green wire, 2 inches from the connector and cut and splice the scrap cat5 wire and run enough wire to make it to the switch and from there re attach the connector by crimping, then plug into the switch? Does each switch need it's own wire? One more question for you, I already have power going to the rails, can I run another power wire from the power pack ( doubling up on the connection and run it across to the far side of the track just to have power on the far side. It seems like my train slows when it's in the far side. Thanks and talk to you later.

Hello all. I have 5 turnouts and 2 crossovers Bachmann track and I drilled holes under each so that the green wires can hang below the layout. My question is how can I connect those wires to their perspective switches in a clean organized way and also have the swiches all connected together (ganged) and also all on one red power wire that's going to the AC Accessories terminal on the MRC tech II transformer. Thanks.
