Stranded or Solid?

[IRONROOSTER]

This has been kicked around quite a bit in the model railroad forum. Bottom line is that the differences are too small to worry about in model railroading. Some people prefer stranded because it is more flexible and easier to bend while others like solid because there is only one wire to solder or attach to terminals. Use which ever one you prefer to work with.

Time to wire up the layout. I'm going with 14 guage wire - but should I use solid or stranded? Is one better than the other? If so, please explain why.

Solid or stranded? That's the question.
