Also; how do you call a system that is composed of 3 rail C-track + z21 controller and software + Marklin 3 rail locomotives and Marklin rolling stock? Thank you. Best Regards Lusito

Use a plug at the end. When the layout grows you can use a bigger bus wire. When you make your own feeder tracks, you can solder the blank ends to the tabs of the C track. I would not trust the plug connections for C track that is glued or screwed to the layout.

A digital three-rail layout.
