Reply to "Wiring question for a newby electronics guy"

I would like to get on my never seize band wagon again,Please bear with me.We have a chain of Auto Parts stores here in CA. called "Oreillys " They have a copper based never seize product that I like to use. I take a palm sized piece of scrap corrugated cardboard and put about a tablespoon of the goo on the cardboard and let the oil get absorbed by the corrugated overnight. I have about a 16 X 20 layout and use Gargraves track. I dip the ends of each connecting pin  [all 3 ] microscopicgly sparingly [as little as possible] in the copper. I run a stranded 16ga wire to a point in the track as far as possible from the transformer and another as close as possible to the transformer. With 2 feeds and one loco I am never farther than 8 feet from a feeder wire.
