Wire is one of those commodities on my 10 x 20 layout that is in constant demand. I started years ago using 14 gauge for primarily track power feeds. I did star wiring in the 1980's. I use 18 gauge for most everything else. I've used three 500 foot reels of 14 gauge and I'm on my fourth 1000 foot reel of 18 gauge. There's a lot of wire under there but DCS and Legacy both work fine, modifications are easy and there's no overloads.
