No problem Andrew. It is Links Page . I am in the process of redesigning it so that it will be a little easier to navigate, but it will stay up and updated until I get everything ready for the renovation.

Hi All:

Wanted to share another HO modular club site with y'all. This link will take you to their module building tutorial. There are other links you can follow to see some of their layouts, etc. Just saw them in November in Raleigh, think the layout was about 30 by 60, very complex.

http://home.earthlink.net/~robert27529/id3.html
Enjoy,
Ted

And another year goes by...

Here's a link to the PowerWerx Website:PowerWerx.com for Anderson PowerPole electrical connectors

They have Anderson PowerPole electrical connectors that we use for connecting our Free-MOn30 modules.

They are also endorsed by several other module groups.

The great thing about the Anderson PowerPoles is that they are gangable and hermaphroditic. That means that multiple PowerPoles can be ganged together to make custom plugs for as many or as few wires as you need. It also means that they are not "Male" and "Female" which is great for Free-Mo modules.

Free-Mo modules can be turned end for end and still fit and connect into a modular layout. With older Cinch-Jones or Molex connectors, it requires that both "Male" and "Female" connectors be wired onto both ends of the module. Using some trailer connectors, you can run into the same problem.

Because the PowerPole connectors are "Hermaphoditic", only one connector is needed at each end of the module.

They are very affordable and it's easy to order them online.

Thanks for the yearly update!

The two-pin trailer plugs are "reversable" as well, and can be had in wire gauge 10AWG or possibly even bigger. Great for carrying your power bus across modules.
