I am beginning to do the major wiring on my N scale layout and after reading the many threads on the different type of connectors I have decided to go with terminal strips to supply my ac accessories and turnouts. My layout is based on the Scenic Ridge layout, but modified to include a yard with 8 switches and two sidings. <br /> <br />My question is this: What size wire to do I use as a feed to the terminal strip from the power supply and what size to use for the feeder wires? I have already decided to run feeder wires for my DCC to several different areas to prevent voltage drop, but wanted to be sure of the wire sizes before beginning. <br /> <br />The layout is still under going construction but I am ready to begin the urban section of my layout and wanted to get help with the many street lights and interior lighting that I have planned. I also purchased an MRC Tech 4 prior to getting my Digitrax Zephyr so, I plan on using it to power the ACC stuff and switches. Is this enough or should I use a seperate supply for each?
