Another track feeder wire question

[Charlie B]

I have a 24x40 room, not climate controlled, and every joint is soldered. I have no problems with the track, the room has gone from 32 to 70 degrees in 4 hours without a problem. As for wires, I used a 12 gauge bus with separate wires every now and again. Once the track joints are soldered you have a continuous loop of at least 14 gauge carrying current. I run DCC and have had as many as 16 locomotives running at the same time. I do have 4 separate power districts. When I was putting the layout up I was running 80 feet (straight line, no loop connections) with no trouble. I do plan on adding a few more feeder wires, but that is not a priority. The bus being 12 gauge is a real plus and I have a different 12 ga bus to each power district. I have over 1000 feet of track.
I know not everyone agrees but it works for me. I love soldered joints and have been doing it 40 50 years.
