1. This is the wire I used for my layout, 16 Gauge bus. 18 Gauge drops about every eight feet. When I get four trains running they all seem too slow down. Two trains on a ZW L and two on a postwar ZW. Could the problem be this silicone wire?
2. I have a damaged wiring harness from a Lionel modern era 2341 TMCC Jersey Central. Is there a way too duplicate this or should I just remove the damaged part of the wire and soder a new piece in?
