Newbie wiring question

[Anonymous]

I am new to Fastrack and need to extend my remote switches and wires from my transformer due to a two level layout.  I know to get 18 gauge 3 piece wire to extend the remote switches, but can I just twist the ends together?  What is the best wire to extend from the CW80 transformer?  Again, do I just twist the ends together?  Sorry if this is a very simplistic question, I'm not much of an electrician.

Thanks from my kids and me!

Welcome to the forums.  But you'll get a better response if you post the question over on the "Classic Toy Trains" forum.  I know it's a bit confusing that Trains has two forums with similar names, but this one is for real trains.

You can get to that forum using the 'forums' button at the top of the page or try:

Good luck,
