Model Railway Terminal Block Mount

thingiverse

This is a simple terminal block mount designed to hold terminal blocks up to 18mm in width. The mounting holes are designed for 1/2 x 19 wire nails or model railway track pins. There is a plastic pin and a mounting lip designed to hold the terminal block in place when mounted vertically. Can be mounted upside down if glued or held in place with blue tack or something similar. It was designed to make it easier to troubleshoot wiring issues on the [oorail](http://oorail.co.uk) layout. By mounting the power and signal connections vertically on the supports, it is easy to check voltages, current and continuity with the multi-meter. This works well with our [Trackside 3D](https://trackside3d.co.uk) concrete cable trunking which can be used to hide wiring on the layout. We have also included a slightly larger mount that can be used with larger terminal blocks up to 22mm wide.
