I presume by feeder wires, you are referring to the wires that connect from the bus wire to the track. I use DCC so my requirements may differ from yours, but I use 14 gauge wire for my bus line and 18 guage for my feeders. Every peice of flex track is soldered and I attach a feeder wire every three feet or so. <br /> <br />Even if you are running DC, I suspect that 30 gauge wire is too thin for all but the smallest layouts. The wire that Atals and other sell is 22 gauge.
