Lionel Fastrack in amplifier installation

GS Power 100% Copper 16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded, flexible twin conductor Connected works great with Fastrack connectors. Fairly easy to get the wire into the connectors and a wire cutout to hold the connectors in place fits very well. See photos. I chose the GS because the 99.9% oxygen-free copper wire is very important to me. I had an old Lionel steamer that takes a lot of load from a ZW transformer. The ZW sends all of its combined power to a single motor, which easily overheats the 22 gauge wire that comes with the terminal block. See photo. So I switched all the wiring to 16 AWG, including the wires connecting the tracks every two meters. Much better running layout.

Pros
  • Versatile - Prepare for any electrical project with heavy-duty 16 AWG cable. It is ideal for home theater sound systems, amplifiers, car audio, robotics, LED lights and RC applications.
Cons
  • Big and chunky
