Type of wire - solid or strand?

I connect my stranded switch leads, via crimp type (the smallest Radio Shack carries) telephone connectors to solid 22ga. when I need more length than is provided in switch assemblies. Since all my runs are short (10 or fewer feet) and loads light (one locomotive per block) I don't have a voltage drop problem with 22ga. wire. <br /> <br />If you haven't tried connecting using the aforementioned crimp connectors; "Try it. You'll like it.".
