Abstract: A model railroad track wiring apparatus comprises a tie section comprising one or more attached model railroad tie members; one or more insulating members that are attached to the tie section and that protrude upwardly from the tie section; a plurality of rail members secured to the tie section and arranged in one or more pairs, wherein each of the pairs has a first end that is joinable to a model railroad track section, wherein each of the pairs has a second end that is attached to the tie section adjacent to a respective one of the insulating members; and two or more power receptacles that are secured to and electrically coupled to the rail members. The apparatus enables convenient introduction of electrical gaps into a model railroad track layout and convenient wiring of power, control, and accessory elements to rails on either side of a gap.
