Folks,

I picked up three of the MTH lighted houses (with the Christmas LEDs) and will be adding them to the Christmas layout this weekend. These are really great looking structures and the LEDs are a perfect touch. 

Question: For those that have these how are you wiring them into your layouts? I thought they’d have those standard clips to run power distribution wires to but they come pre-wired with a short length of really thin wire (22, 24g maybe?). I’ve got some ideas but just wondered how other have handled it.

I have all accessories on my layout running from 1 Z-4000.

What I have essentially done was split the layout in half, left and right sides. Each half has it's own handle on the Z4K. I have each "half" of the layout running accessories to MTH terminal strip(s) then to the Z-4K.

All buildings, including the Christmas houses, that need wire extensions get that and I just use wire nuts to connect them. Been doing it for year, never a problem and haven't burned the house down!
