Fastrack Feeder Help

Catalog says use 18 gauge quick connects

They are a .110 quick disconnect. Auto store may be your best bet. I had to order them off the bay to get them for 16awg feeders.

18awg is too small for me.

Thanks guys.  Moon, if I recall, 18 AWG is rated for 7A and 16 AWG is rated for 10A.  The problem is, it's real hard for me to make a connection with 16 AWG at the bottom of the track.  This is a carpet empire and I have to run the bus in the crawlspace and drill small holes to run the feeders from underneath.  How do you get your 16 AWG wire crammed in to make the connection to the fastrack?  I had a hard time as one connector (probably slightly larger than 110) and the thickness of the wire butted up to closely to one of the ribs under the track section.

I have a fastrack layout.  I went to monoprice and ordered their speaker wire... it's 16 AWG and I used the 110 connector...  But it's not a carpet layout. 

Here's a link if this works:

Yeppur, it's little tight. I shape the wire to go through the cutout in the next rib and then press it down after using needle nose pliers to put the connector on. The terminal is probably metric and the .110 is a little tight.

I use the 10A bricks, but get nowhere near drawing that. I just like it there if I need it.

18 will be ok for your setup. You have to keep the holes small. Just don't run two  engines with pulmors and lighted cars at the same time.
