Thanks Noarrowminded for that and thanks to all got all the wire i need and also resistors etc for terminators.  Now got a weekend of routing cables and soldering  will post when all done me be a good week.

see thats possibly where confusion is occuring as I in UK so are wiring gauges different i.e. in UK 24/0.2 has 24 strands and will carry upto 6 amps. but 16/0.2 will carry upto 3 amps and the other one commonly sold in UK for lights and point motors is 7/0.2 wicj will carry 1.4amps.

Thanks all for your help bought some extra wire of lower gauge for the drops now see how i get on, I am hoping it will remove need for a booster.

So I ok with the 24 strand for bus but go down to a 16-18 for the droppers?

i hope you are not planning to wire the entire layout with 24 guage wire. it's ok to run short distances from a bus line to the track, but for long distances you will need something alot bigger to avoid signal loss. i use 18 guage for everything. so far it's worked for me but alot of people claim even 18 is too small, and use 12-14 guage.

I confused 24/0.2 (24 strands) wire carries 6amps which should be good enough also will be twisting the wire and this will be for the BUS in Star formation.  What wire should i use for droppers.  I am using the following guide:

Already ordered a ton of 24/2 wire from maplin and some resistors/capacitors for terminators, but the switch idea is new one to me thanks for the advice on that one.

Hi,

New to Dynamis and got to say i love it, however my layout is big and finding low power spots already. 

My Question is do i have to use Bachmann decoders or boosters with the Dynamis system or can I use another N.M.R.A. conforming product.

Thanks in advance.
