twisted pair for switches
Posted by fastrackjonnie on Tuesday, October 17, 2006 11:09 AM

Does anyone have any information on using twisted pair telephone wire to operate Lionel FasTrack switches? I'd like to keep the outside covering but am concerned that the wire won't work properly if it is still twisted.

Telephone wire should work just fine.

Btw- this question would be more apropriate in the Model Railroader forum
