I need some wire to extend the length of my Fastrack switch controllers. Can some one point me in the right direction? Thanks.

This stuff. Telephone wire, from the depot. Cheap and easy.
4 conductor stranded phone cable can be used and should match the color code but if not, just make sure you are using the correct combination. The wire doesn't need to carry a large amount of current and the voltage is fine.
You will want some of these as well...
that is exactly what I use for my very small home layout.

These are good for wire to wire connection without having to use terminal lugs on the wires. Just stick the wire in and tighten. Run the four conductor from the switch to the strip close enough to hook up the controller.

That is the one that I use also, works great! Radio Shack has them too, but they cost more. http://www.radioshack.com/prod...sp?productId=2103986
