I am not sure if I am using the correct lingo but I am in search of cheap miniature buss bar/or terminal strips for my MTH and Lione Dummy units.

What I am doing is connection LEd lights/MRC ac sounder units &possible smoke units to dummy diesel locomotives. Many of these additions I add a manual miniature switch for directional purposes and/or to turn on and off lights. WIth all this wiring, I am looking for these miniature terminal strips/buss bars so when taking off the shells for work, I can disconnect the wiring for better access and not damaging the shells. Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

Well, you can do what I do for some upgrades. I use machine pin sockets and matching headers and create my own connectors. A little heat-shrink and I have a multi-conductor miniature connector for all the shell connections. Here's a snap of a two-conductor one, you can make them in any number of connections.

Another thing I sometimes do is secure the shell one to the side of the shell with CA glue so it's not flopping around in there.
