I was wondering if i can get some help - I am new to this - I have an old LIonel 8e super motor that needs some wiring updates. I wanted to repair myself - just curious as to what type/gauge wire i need to use for a Standard Gauge train? I have some post war wire leftover from my fathers collection - but it seems too flimsy or small compared to what the train has.
Any help will be appreciated!

If you're not necessarily into keeping it all cloth covered wire original looking, a good UL1061 20ga stranded wire should suffice for all your STD ga engine repair needs.

PVC insulated cloth covered wire is still made if you want to keep it original looking.
