Wires From Transformer Accessory Terminals

Brian would like to hear suggestions from readers:

“I’m adding lighting to buildings on my layout. Why if I run feeder wires from the transformer accessory terminals to a terminal strip and then plug the light wiring to the terminal strip am I not getting the lights to light up? Ometer is showing terminal trip is fully charged which makes no sense. If you hook lights directly to transformer they work fine. You can’t run each light on a 44×20 layout with 10 miles of wiring to the transformer.”

Add your suggestions to help Brian below.
