Bus line

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.

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