Title: Bus line
Post by: mrmel0 on May 03, 2020, 03:10:23 AM
Bus line starts with "to track" lines.

A cluster of turnouts represented by a double cross-over. Is there any method to the madness of tying in 4 feeders inches apart?

I want to feed off my bus at the cluster double-crossover (4 feeds), at a turnout across the oval, and to the furthered side of the next oval over, my layout essentially 2 double ovals connected to each other.

Can do?

You could use a couple of these. There are screw holes for mounting between each terminal set:

Use one for each bus. Run a feed to one side and jumper the screws together. Run your seperate feeds from the screws on the other side. The 4 position strips come 3/bag from Home Depot, and they deliver:

These strips are also availabe in lengths up to 12 terminals per side that can be cut apart as needed.
