Just built an overhead track that goes around my son's ceiling in his room (he's only 3 months old :) )...got dcc and control it remotely....just finished the project and would like to add some "flair" to the project over time by adding lights, lamp posts, etc. If possible, can someone give me some basic guidance.... here are my questions... what wattage bulbs can i use? i may want to eventually build my own light fixtures.... how do i hook up the lights or bulbs? can i just hook up the wires directly to the track (center and outside rail)? what's the best way to hook up the wires (solder? clips?) what type of wire do i use (18gauge, 20 gauge?) i don't really care about dimming the lights which i understand i can do with the mth dcc controller with the accessory interface.....i just want lights around the room when i turn the power on... also, i like to read up on this as well as find out much more about the hobby....if you can provide links, recommended readings, etc, i'd greatly appreciate it. thanks in advance... rg
