Another differance is what type of control system are you installing? You didn't say. It is generally recommended larger gauge wire be used for DCC buss. Since you called the wire a buss, I assume your talking DCC. For DC wiring, your block control wires maybe shouldn't be called a buss. To me a buss is a a larger conductor which has feeders eminating from it, going to the track. As you stated, solid or stranded is a personal choice. Using 14 gauge for the buss and 20-24 gauge for the feeders will likely suit your needs. <br /> <br />I don't know if telephone lines are a specific gauge, it might be anywhere from 20-24 gauge.
