Joe, Just to clear something up: A 16 gage wire from the power pack to the (electrical) switch then a 16 gage wire from the switch to the track but this wire runs under the table; then the last wire in the chain is a 22 gage (solid) from the wire under the table to the track. Many modelers solder the wire to the rail. I use a special rail joiner and solder the wire to the rail joiner. Also, for a 5 x 9 you could probably use 18 gage wire instead of 16 gage wire. Good Luck - Ed P.S. I was involved in another similar thread called Wiring and Thanks which you may like to read.
