so is it good to use 4 mm wire for model railway layout or is that over kill. i am not sure what mm sq i am supposed to use.

[@DonegalDadRail]

Hi James 4mm is a bit big, I use 1.5mm for the bus wire and then 7/0.2 wire for the droppers. How big is your layout?

[@derekmulready1523]

Can 1.5 be used for DC and DCC

[@DonegalDadRail]

Yes I use it for both, remember with DC you have to use a Bus Wire for each circuit/controller

[@DonegalDadRail]

No problem

[@69cressyp]

Do you need need just one bus wire for the two rings or sidings with DCC?
