I run wire to a terminal strip just before the transformer. Id not join wires from one drop to the other under the layout, each drop runs to the terminal strip. Here is my wiring for track 1
And here is my wiring for my switches I have so far.

I forgot to mention that the Posi-Lock connectors work perfectly for DCS, TMCC and Legacy.

. . I decided not to go with the Wago lever nuts as they are, apparently, more suited to solid than stranded wire. I am trying these in both the 2-wire and 3-wire flavors. I will report back on how well they work. www.showmecables.com/ur-idc-buttsplice-19-26-awg-red-3-wire-gel-filledOK, the results are in for the above connectors and they are not good. The results for the IDC Buttsplice 3-wire gel-filled connector and the IDC Buttsplice 2-wire gel-filled connector were less than satisfactory. I performed 4 crimps with the 3-wire version. In all cases: - The 3-wire version is rated to take 19-26 AWG wire and be self-stripping. I found it difficult to get 20 AWG wire into the connector; it would not go deep enough without stripping off the insulation myself.
- This was also true of the 2-wire version.
- In all cases, I failed to get a good connection. In a couple of cases, the cap did not push down all the way.
These did not live up to expectations and are not worth the trouble. I have lodged a complaint with the company and asked for a refund. I am hoping that the Posi-Locks prove much easier and reliable. They're due to arrive sometime this week. That's the score so far. George
