several questions on wire. is there an easier way to strip the triplex wire on atlas N switches? i see this strip tool on tv and was thinking someone must use something like that. i know they sure give me a fit . being small and stranded and combined in a trio makes them tough for me with sight prob. secondly i have a roll of themostat wire 18 guage solid . is this too big and cause resistance problem? my layout best as i can tell so far will be 4-5 wide by 12 feet max length. thats what i have room for anyway and also have walkway. said good bye to the panel saw i was trying to restore so we have room for MRR. im hoping to use this wire i have as its color coded and also has a covering for the inside pairs. it seems like i did use this wire way back when i had my other layout but im not for sure its the same roll or not now.. being solid i could just trench a small slot under roadbed for the track terminals as im going to have to go with block wiring again . much thanks, john
