I am not a wiring Genius, however, I also just run TMCC/Legacy Lionel Products. When I began construction of my Layout, 17 by 38', 5 winding Levels from 42 inches off the floor to a high of 78 inches off the floor, all track connected, and MTH promoting the Star, (Home Run) wiring, I did it that way. I used almost only 16 gage stranded color coded wiring....One issue with TMCC and possibly other hand held controllers is Signal Loss....Signal Loss can happen when one trains goes over another train on an upper level...Also in yards....I won't get off the subject of Star Wiring, but, I highly recommend it...Stranded wire for flexibility and crimp on connectors....Do it right to begin with, saves a lot of time when issues occur......Leapin Larry's Looney Lines RR....Happy Railroading...
