It has been decades, since I last wired up a layout. Perhaps there are easier techniques or products.
What do you prefer to connect the many track feeder wires to the running buss wires? Suitcase connectors? Euro-style barrier strips? Other?
1. The main buss will be stranded 12 gauge around the layout room. This definitely takes care of losses around a 13x13 ft room.
2. the feeder wires are solid 24 gauge, soldered to the rail. Currently I make them 12 " long
3. I could use 14 or 16 gauge stranded wire to taper down from the main run.
Thanks,
