My layout is wired with #14 to MTH terminal blocks then #16 to all the track blocks. Switches, accessories, lights are wired with #18 thermostat wire 2, 3, or 4 conductors. Some of these wires go to Euro style terminal blocks, then on to the devices. Sometimes using smaller wire from the devices themselves for the final short distances.
The t'stat wire was/is readily available at Home Depot or Lowes in various lengths and numbers of conductors. I had really wanted to use #20 or #22 stranded wire for switches, accessories, lighting etc. But a few years ago the stranded wire was difficult to find in various numbers of conductors, lengths and wire sizes. The t'stat wire was also less expensive. As it turned out the solid thermostat wire worked out just fine.
