Look at the photo above.  The CMB4-10 has ten slots to install your wire.  One in and one out for a total of 10 spaces.  The sell a jumper that goes in the center that connects all of the wire slots together which gives you 20 spaces to connect the wires.  19 from the track and one to your TIU or Power supply if you don't use a TIU.  Allied also sells the crimp on connectors.  I think they are .110 tab size.  You would need two of the terminal blocks.  One for your center wire and one for the outside ground.  The CMB4 is available in several sizes from one connector up to one hundred spaces.

Future working accessories might be 2 or 3 industrial ones. However with all the track space consuming the layout and few buildings I have there is not  much more room. I might put a partial platform above the track to have a city/town scene. That won't be for some months away. And yes I also find the fastrack easy to connect. I just have to make sure that I have connectors that fit for 16 gauge wire and the ground/ common connection on the fastrack.
