That went sideways pretty fast.  Dunce

I found a few good references with solid DCC bus info.  Basically NCE's guide for HO recommended 14 AWG for runs up to 50 (leg from booster) and 12 AWG for longer runs up to 100 ft.

, but they are considered the same song. .

I don't think so Kevin.  The Garth Brooks and George Jones song is nothing like Todds original beerrun song.

Go find them on YT and see for yourself.

We've gone from wire runs to beer runs!  Laugh

Mike.

PS. There, I've RUN this thread on RUNS into page 2.

 Mike, I was talking about all the different versions of Louie Louie being considered the "same song", even though in some instances they bear nearly no resemblance to one another.

Sheldon explained that Garth Brooks Beer Run is a completely different song.

Well, we enjoy our conversations here in the coffee clutch. No one gets hurt, and I learned a little something.

Yea, we just ran out of ways to the answer the OP's question.  Anything that has "run" in it, is fair game.  Smile, Wink & Grin

rda
got it, thanks. ok, the run refers to the wiring, not a section of the track

As I stated in my first reply, fifth post from the top...and I'm not even a DCC guy.
