QUOTE: Originally posted by laz 57 BUCKEYE, I got 16 gauge stranded wire from the local army navy store. The kind that looks like the lamp cord wire that is on lamps it is all brown in color. 300 feet for $15 bucks. What I did was take a black magic marker and do one side every foot or so with the marker and designated one side the positive and one side the negative. Works great and was probably the best thing I did (rewire the layout) now I have better continuity and seems my trains are running better. The only thing I would have done was to buy the cord in white so the black marker would show up better. For the accesories I still am running the 18 gauge red and green wires. laz57
