Hi All,
Has anyone found a way to terminate a line with the 9v Track? I know it can
be done with the 12v stuff, but I wanted to build a freight yard with
multiple terminators for loading and unloading and I have no clue how. Could
I run a set of wires from the terminated rails to the rest of the track to
patch the power? Any Ideas?
Cheers,
