Wiring for post war tenders

I have just recently re-acquainted myself with my trains from many years ago. I am beginning to repair any problems that I find with wiring that has become brittle and needs to be replaced. I am re-wiring a Lionel 6466WX Tender and am wondering if there is a standard gauge wire to be used in it's repair. I want to make it as original as I can in the process. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I think you use just regular wire
