benchwork wiring ?

[matthewb507]

hey guys i got a question for ya i am building my layout in sections typically like modules i am building them in 2x6 ft sections my question is what are your thoughts and ideas i could use to connect the main wires to each section of the layout for linkage at the ends of the benchwork i want to do some thing simple to plug in and unplug them i dont really want to do the big boxy thing that most module layout uses so i am just wondering what i could do for a connection link if im making any scence lol looking for input and ideas.

banana plugs. just one of the myriad options

You could use phone jacks for things like lighting and turnout motors, and trailer conectors for the track.

I would go cheap, fast, and simple. Oh yes, and effective. Spade connectors.

Bullet style connectors that you can crimp on the wire, basic female/male round connector, look at the home center in the electical section.
