    So I need to wire my second base for DCC & AC ( AC to throw my turnouts ), and connect from the Output of my First base to the second one without any soldering needed. The connectors ONLY have a 10cm wire on them which I figured to be about 4 inches? I have the exact same terminal blocks on the First base. The items I am ordering will work correct?

    And it's alright to wire DCC & AC separately this way from base#1 to base #2?

    Terminal Block like I have on Base #1

    Male & Female Connectors

    Junction Connection so I don't have to strip or solder Male/Female Connectors

    Added the clips to clean up wiring like @Hardcoaler :) Can use extra for outside Christmas lights next year!

    I know most people would just solder a longer wire to the Male?Female connectors, but I don't want to solder.

    I hope everyone understands what I want to do with all this stuff?

    Thanks!

    What is your second base? Command station? Power supply for accessories or your turnouts? Other?

    Sorry, it's my other 2'x4' base to form the L when I am using it! First base is wired for DCC & AC turnout operations, and Just Plug Lighting ( which is their system) So the connections will come out of the terminal blocks in base #1 to Base #2, and this is what the parts I am ordering are for, Base #2

    And here is one of the terminal blacks, I have one for DCC and one for AC turnouts. And there will be 2 terminal boards on the 2nd base. One for DCC and one for AC and my Rocker switches to control the turnouts on base #2.
