mikesndbs Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Hi I am looking for some thin black wire like the stuff Hornby and others use to wire up locos and to go between tender and loco. Way smaller than 7/02. Does anyone know the specs and where I can buy a few metres please? Is it for example 24, 28 or 30AWG?

You could use what is sold as "decoder wire" available in most colours, so you could buy a few metres of that: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321722896408?var=510624988908&hash=item4ae82dd018:g:14oAAOSwEeFVKkGZ 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Sorry too late (I've just seen it), but there would be plenty of suitable wire in an old SCART cable or possibly a phone charger cable. (The latter seem to last about five minutes before they fail at one (or both) ends. It's not the fault of the wire, just the weak connection to the plug, which has insufficient support.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
