I have an RK Meyer & Dale grocery supply, an RK #30-9011 (no name) switch tower, and a newly purchased fantastic Woodland Scenics Corner Emporium which has dimmable LED lighting. How do I wire them. I bought 18 gauge connectors but the building wires look smaller. The Z4000 has one output of 14v and another of 10v, my Z1000 has accessory output of 14v. This will be a temporary connection on my Carpet Central. Should I use one power routing for all 3 buildings? Switch tower has connector clips. The other 2 have just wire to connect. Need help from you electricity gurus. I'm an electricity nightmare!

Since you have a Z4000 why not hook up each individually to a variable output and slowly crank up the handle to see if 10V or 14V as indicated on the display is a suitable brightness.  The problem might be the Emporium which apparently requires 16-20V per their website.  But the Emporium might work at 14V.  If the others run OK at 14V and this is a temporary hookup, I'd run the 14V output to one building, then daisy-chain it to the next, and again to the next.

Thanks Stan. 14v soundsgood, but I will try the other variable power handle to see if10v or 14v works better. I intended to use the daisy chain hook up, but not sure about my 18 gauge connectors. They might too large for the wire supplied with the structures. Plus the Corner Emporium needs to be manipulated gently, but I can always glue the detailed parts back on. That's why I was wondering if there is a way to connect them to the power line without shaking them too much. Those wires in the buildings look like they can be stripped more in order to use the connectors.
