(...) Tom- You can use almost any convenient type of wire wire to run your 9-volt trains. Stranded 16 or 18 gauge might be optimum and can often be had particularly in the form of paired speaker wire or lamp cord. At SCLTC, we use the 4-conductor (...)

Sorry, I think you misunderstood what I meant (either that or I am misunderstanding you) My thinking was that the sides would be much the same as you have them, but the whole panel would be slightly off the vertical, so the coach is maybe half (...)
