I'm trying to find a source for AWG 16 gauge wire, 4 conductors, pure stranded copper, for use in wiring accessories on my new layout.  On my last layout, I used this speaker wire product from Parts Express on a 100 or 250 foot spool, but they're out of stock with no idea when they will receive a new supply.  It worked great for hooking up the wiring for oil wells, beacons, buildings and even extending Gargraves uncoupling/unloading track wire harnesses.

I spent a couple of hours looking on Amazon and found a quite a few products that looked promising, but many of the reviews stated the wire was of poor quality or the spools fell apart once removed from the boxes.  I called DigiKey today, but all they have is AWG 16/4 wire, but three out of four of the conductors are black with the last one green.

As you might imagine, I'm a bit frustrated right now. 

Do you know of a source for AWG 16 gauge wire, 4 conductors, pure stranded copper with red, black, green and white colored insulation on the conductors?

Thank you.

It's out there.  A very quick search turned this up:

We are in the Dallas area and there are many wire/cable dealers (some wholesale only).  Have you checked Grainger?  They may have something.  But, I think you will have to go local to get the overall length you want, unless you are looking for a 250' spool.

I just checked with Grainger, but they only sell 16 AWG/4 in 1,000 foot spools!
