Hello Out there in Garden Railway Land!! Yeah I'm knew at this so please bare with me! Still getting my bearings sort of speak. Anyway I have questions concerning the wiring for my track. I have just completed laying down my garden railway track and ready to proceed with the electrical hookup. Now I did not begin with the usual starter kit, so I am flying by the seat of my pants here, and don't have the luxory of having the transformer and neccessary wiring that would be included. What I need to know is what guage of wire is normally used, is it low voltage wire such as that which is used for low voltage accent lighting? Or do I need go with a larger or smaller gage wire? How many volts are we talking here anyway? How big a transformer do I need? I have about 70 - 80 feet of track laid so far, with branch lines soon to be installed, what things electrically speaking do I need to consider when adding more track? Please tell me someone out there has some answers, everyone I speak to around here in southern Ontario, Canada seems to talk well above my head[D)]! Thanks in advance to anyone has some helpful advice to get me steered in the right direction. MAJ.
