Hi Roger, I've used 12 gauge house wire in the past with excellent
results, if you get one of the wire strippers that grip and strip when
you squeeze the handles you can strip the buss wire easily, they cut a
gap and push the insulation apart enough to twist a feeder wire around
the buss and then solder it.
I like to keep the two buss wires apart so it's easier to add
feeders and trace any proplems, twisting them would also make the
connection of feeders harder. Does anyone know if this twisting is
just theoretical or does it have an observable effect on operations? I
added DCC to my small layout with no problems and it had separate
un-twisted buss wires but it was only a 9 foot by 16 foot oval. How
big does a layout need to be for the twisting to be necessary? .....dave
