Hi Ted,
The buss wire I used is stranded. However, solid could be used. I purchased 500 feet of 12ga romex (solid) years ago in the anticipation of expanding lol. It was cheap before copper prices increased. The stranded , for me, is easier to use with splice connectors, no soldering. I solder where I can, eliminates headaches later on. I like to connect to terminal strips with spade connectors. In the future, I will be using buss bars with the solid wire. I soldered feeders to the track, and where the track was slightly out of reach, I soldered the track together. Which type of track are you using?
If you plan on using DCS, I would suggest getting Barry's book, and think about star wiring. Some people use buss wiring and have no problems, but if your starting from scratch, definitely something to consider. Lots of good info and people on this forum with tremendous knowledge. That's where I learned.
