I have a 5x9 HO layout. I have built a control panel with seven switches and LED lights to indicate switch direction. I am using MRC command 2000 DCC torise motors under the table and on the control panel dpdt switches. I have followed the instructions for wiring from the tortise and have Mr. Sperandeos' EMRW 2nd edition. However, my soldering technic is not the best. Therefore, I have tried to test my connections by wiring without soldering and connot get any results. Should I solder and hope for the best? I'm also unsure whether to use 22g. solid or 18g. solid wire. My switches are rather small so two 18g. wires barely fit. <br />Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions <br />locobill
