Wire

[Kev Green]

I need to extend the wire on my Piko power clips by about 3mtrs but I can only find it for sale in 25mtr rolls. I assume there is an equivalent out there. Can someone confirm what I need to look for please

 

[Greg Elmassian]

almost any wire of a similar "gauge" (diameter of the copper).

 

[Kev Green]

Will either of these be ok?

 

[Greg Elmassian]

most likely.

being an engineer and trying to get things "right"

how many locos are running from this wire? Running with lights and smoke?

For 3 meters, the 16 gauge wire should be at least as heavy as what you have, and thinner wire would only make a marginal difference in virtually all cases.

Still newbie to G Scale so only one engine at a time and no power points or lighting

no problem, 16 gauge plenty adequate...
