A distinct power terminal that is independently releasably fitted within a support member of the model track layout. The power terminal is coupled to an external power source through lead wires. The power terminal includes &ldquo;cave-in&rdquo; parts at opposing ends of the power terminal which are snap-fit into corresponding openings of the support member. The support member includes side openings to allow the lead wires to extend from the power terminal outwards to the external power source. The power terminal further includes connecting terminals that couple the electric power from the power terminal to the track rails. In addition, a rail converting switch includes two solenoid drivers with corresponding stroke axles positioned on opposing sides of a housing. The stroke axles are connected to a sliding part positioned between the stroke axles, which sliding part includes a supporting axle and connection portion for coupling to, and actuating, a rail coupler. The sliding part further includes a body part which provides therein two springs for buffering movement between the body part and the supporting axle.
