Adriatic posted:I got lost on one point, but assume you mean you doubled up 22g to each terminal...? (mind terminals have max amp ratings too. The spec is in the max wire gauge listed. E.g. For 18-14g handles 14g worth of power.
Also, power delivery wire has a lower awg max amps than signal wires (that usually get a break from work via frequency, or power reductions which form signals.)
Dupont makes all kinds of good stuff.
Did not double up any single conductor I did substitute 22g on two connectors one for power and one for chassis ground. I think I also put 22g on the motor leads ? All the other wires were the stock 28~30g. Can't imagine ever needing 14awg for a harness between to O gauge locos. I think what threw you off was the part where I pulled off two strands of four then reversed the ends so there is a M & F connector on each end once they are glued together. I staggared them when gluing together it helps keep them from giggling apart from up / down and side to side forces. The combination of M & F connectors on each end "Polarizes them" to prevent plugging in backwards. I don't plan to make my own harness on each TMCC conversion but all my plugs MTH and Lionel were 90 degree plugs and I wanted the straight through connection on the PA set. The 4, 545 size motors will pull stumps. I have ten 20" Weaver cars and they drag them around without effort. The DCDR motor driver that came in the Alco PA does not have cruise but the AA pair has so much power it hardly slows on grades so I don't miss not having cruise. Enlarge and look closely at the pix they tell the story far better than I can type it. Typing is one of my least favorite things to do. J
