Having a heck of a time trying to connect the wires under the clip on terminals under the diner.
The wires for the street lamps are so paper thin they keep slipping out of the terminal loops. On top of that I also have to connect the wires for the power to the transformer along with the wire to the switch that turns on and off the diner's smoke unit.
Any helpful suggestions on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

George, skip using the wire provided and use a larger gauge wire. That'll help.
Thanks O-gauger, I am using a larger gauge wire than what was supplied for the power and switch wires.
Problem is the paper thin wire used and connected to the street lamps.
It is difficult getting it through the loops and when it does, has the tendency to slip out of the loop.
Very frustrating.

Gromet thanks, that's probably the best approach and I will try it.

IMO I would watch that little red switch. I already burnt up a smoke unit because I could never tell the position in was in. It's so small. Of course my eyes aren't as good as they use to be either.
Thanks guys for your input.
I will try to tin the wire too though I might need a microscope to do that with these old eyes.
From my other accessories I know better than to use the supplied little switch, my local hardware store's simple toggle switch seems to do the trick.
Now if I can prevent the horses in my corral from falling over, I would be a happy camper lol.

I'll take your advice on the switch if I can get the smoke unit fixed. Our eyes seem to have something in common.
