I will second the new Walthers turn outs. I have about 25-30 of the older ones, and had to isolate each with insulators. But the new ones you just drop them in place. This also cuts down the amount of feeders you need. I used 12 gauge outdoor low-volt lighting wire. I bought to much from HD and decided it would make a good fit. I used 14 gauge from the power supply, and 24 gauge (CAT 5) to the rails. You should use a higher gauge if possible. I have tons of scrap CAT 5 around. All of this terminates to terminal strips with fork connectors. <br /> <br />Josh
