Wow, 10,000 feet of cables divided by 2 for each side
Divide 10,000 feet by 6 (3 cable runs down each side - inner, outer, aux
power)
That's still a lot of modules, I agree.
Keep in mind some folks have used ZBT just for home use. Their modules will
never see the trunk (boot) of a car on the way to public displays. Its just
not the way they want to enjoy Z scale.
That's OK too. So long as folks are having fun, that's the objective of the
hobby.
And there are folks who buy wire and connectors on their own, and I have no
idea where they are. There is absolutely nothing hard-to-find or "special"
about a ZBT harness. Which is part of the "why" the ZBT components were selected
in the first place (last forever, available everywhere, cheap)(and
electrically sufficient).
