One of my goals is to reduce the number of wires under my layout. I can substantially reduce them by having a bus wire for common or ground, running the entire 35 foot length of my layout, and tapping into it with short feeder wires connected to the bus wire and the track for every few feet of track.
Lowes near me had no 14 gauge bare wires so I bought 14 gauge insulated stranded wire (of a different color, black, than the red colored hot wire). The black 14 gauge stranded wire will be my cold ground wire.
The insulated 14 gauge stranded wire for the hot wire will run from my 12 port MTH Block Terminals to beneath the places under the track where it connects to short 16 gauge insulated white solid wire.
Assuming I use the black insulated 14 gauge stranded wire for ground as a bus wire, how do I tap into it with short 16 gauge solid white wire that is connected to the track? What do you think is the best way to tap into that bus wire?
