Naturally the names escape me at the moment. Many folks oversize their bus wires (no harm - just costs more). 14 gauge should be good for most layouts. Yeah I used 12 but I had rolls of it in the shop. I use 18 gauge for feeders, every six feet and more where needed (around combos of turnouts for the most part). Two basic rules: Feed every inch of track somehow and watch out for short circuits. There have been threads on this topic. I'm sure someone will point you to them. Thanks Larak, I appreciate the link! Jarrell
