I have in my railway now a total of 10 plates in use. They facilitate wiring monster, you have no longer screws, everything is just stuck. Together with the plugs a must. Be sure to note: only the new connector from Marklin fit, the old are a little too big. As a rule, but noted at the plugs, to which board they fit.
Perhaps more indicative of the manufacturer (if he should read it because): It would be nice if the package that a required bolt would be attached (can not be that expensive and place would be even). That would make the search for suitable screws superfluous and would be a nice service.
