Ever looked for a thing that you didn't know its name?

I had to laugh a bit. I can't tell you how many times I have googled...and googled...and googled some more for things that I don't know what they are called. Sometimes even a descriptive phrase takes me out in the weeds, and I have to start all over.

Thanks for the tip. HOwever, space limits on my modules dictate tie wraps. Anyone know where I can get them cheap and in bulk?  Looks like a good price on this link.

We use these on our 2 foot gauge excursion RR during our annual Halloween event. Any large home improvement store (Home Depot, etc.) should have them. That is where we got ours.

These do the same thing, and you can get them in eentsy, small, medium and large sizes.  They are easier to use, and cheaper, in the long run, than the tie-wrap and sticky thing combination. When the sticky tape ages and fails, you need to go back and put in a wood screw. Time is money. When you want to add or remove or change a wire, you need to sacrifice the tie-wrap(s) along the route.

The drive ring goes in once, and can be turned 90 degrees to the run while working, then turned back to the working position.

If you want to know why yours are called "bridle rings" just ask. (It has nothing to do with a weird marital rite among sado-masochists.)

Jan,

Nice find.

I would guess that tie-wraps or velcro wraps or tubing would still be needed to keep wires neat and together.

I would be inclined to keep away from anything metal (conducts electricity) to organize under layout wires.  Stuff happens.

You'll have to look harder, but you can get them with a plastic sleeve covering the ring.
