OK, for those of us that have club layouts I am sure we have power strip issues.
NELUG runs 3-4 trains plus we have an ammusement park that uses another 5-6
power supplies and then an additional 3-4 for other automation on our layout.
I am sure most other clubs have the same issues. Wires run everywhere and power
strips are inadequate. If you have a standard strip with 6 plugs we are lucky
if we can use 3. So they get chained together all over the place.
Not any more. We have found a new 6 plug power strip that works with 6 wall
warts!
This means that we will be able to do a layout with 2-3 of these instead of 5-6
of the old poorly set up power strips chained together.
Obviously we got this one at Ace hardware as a store brand. I am sure there
must be others around. Bring your cables under control!
