Little late watching this but it was a big help 😅I new to hobby (over a year ) and can’t get enough Train’s, I started sharing videos on UA-cam just so people could enjoy as much as me and give ideas thanks for sharing
The Amazon terminal block is rated for 15 amps, I bought the same ones. The 6 port with the custom jumpers looks like it was made by Ideal and looks like it's 30 amp rated. Love these things.

I used #8 here and 22 gauge wire but you can use larger sizes if you using heavier gauge wire. Red and yellow forks ( yellow for heavier gauge wire) work with the ones I used in the video
Ok, if I’m using the same block terminal as you are using and wanted to run three loops of track with feeder lines going to each section of each loop would I need a separate block for each transformer that powers each loop?
Yes you can. I run the power from my transformer into one of the terminal blocks and then out to the various sections of track so I can get a much more even flow of power.
Thank you for such a lovely and simple explanation

Thank you for this simple tutorial!
Thanks, great information, very useful
Thanks for teaching everything about a very useful device
You're awesome. Thanks Bud

The six port I had picked up at my local Menards. It was the first one that ever used.
Thank you so much. I need for 12dc solar system. Thank you for sharing.
Many Thanks great information!
well explained thanks
Thanks for your video
Nice video, I also like your shirt
Someone needs to make an O gauge set with Marvel characters on them.
You giving me a cool project idea.

What size fork connectors did you use for the terminal block?
I used #8 here and 22 gauge wire but you can use larger sizes if you using heavier gauge wire. Red and yellow forks ( yellow for heavier gauge wire) work with the ones I used in the video
Where did you get the green terminal? Thanks
Amazon
I have an AC Adapter 12V 2.67amps also from a cable box. Can I use it to rum my accessories? I am asking you because yours is 2.5 amps.
I don’t see why not as long as the voltage is correct

I would do them separately just to alleviate any issues that you might have in mixing up wiring.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen this video but it’s another one showing how I’m doing my wiring

That’s what I thought. Thank you, again.
One more question. When using feeder line, do I need a ground for every hot wire?
Not necessarily, but it will help eliminate any possible dead spots in the future
max current of terminal pls
Different blocks are rated differently

Can you use the same methodology for getting power to different areas on the track ?
Yes you can. I run the power from my transformer into one of the terminal blocks and then out to the various sections of track so I can get a much more even flow of power.
@@Pvilletrains awesome thanks for the feedback! G scale guy here but I’m looking to get into O gauge. Your videos are super clear and helpful.
