Hi
I am at last on with my dcc layout and before purchasing or doing any wiring would like to know what size of wire to use for the power bus and droppers, advice has been anything from household mains wire for the power bus to handle up to 20amps down to 0.02mm sold in most railway shops for general wiring, the same for dropper wires.
I would rather be covered and dont want to turn it on and all the wires turn a nice shade of red ....... lol
Also i presume copper core is a better conductor for a signal in dcc, should it be multistrand or single core ?
Suggestions of a supplier would be welcomed, the cost is not an issue as it i want it to be right first time.
The layout covers two boards in an L shape 6ft X 2 6" one way onto 6ft x 2ft, with two levels would an NCE procab be ok to supply all needs for the track without a booster, as all accesories /points are covered with a Gaugemaster D or DS controller.
