I run 18 to 20 ga. feeder wires about every 4ft on my H.O. scale layout. Most are only about 2ft long or maybe in a tight area a little longer. I use solid wire because it's easier to solder. Then I use a 14 ga. stranded wire for the main feeders. All the feeders are soldered to the main. For years I only used the small ga. stuff for everything. Then I met a good electrician that rewired my layout from one end to the other. No more slow engines or flat spots. <br /> <br />Larry
