<P>OK guys - you've convinced me. I will be running alot of sound locos (in fact so far ALL my DCC locos are sound), looking forward to DCC uncoupling someday, and those new MTH locos which just eat the power. These future power needs and your much heeded advice have convinced me to upgrade to 16 or 14 gauge for the main DCC bus. Now, is 14 or 16 gauge better for the main DCC bus with a max length of 25' (one way)?</P> <P>Also, I assume I can use all that 18 gauge wire I have for AC accessories like internal building lights?</P>
