where do i find a buss to do my wiring?
At the buss stop.
a buss is a term for a main power feeder. right now i’m using 14 gauge wire that i have left over from a job i did. you could use romex ( called non metalic sheathed cable ) used for house wiring. just strip off the outside jacket and you’ll have a white and a black wire. this will be your buss that you will tap off of with smaller gauge wire to connect to the rails. leave the insulation on the wires and just strip it where you want to solder the feeders.

BTW iceman, I believe Bob was just having a little fun with you.
Instead of all wires to a central control panel, one runs wires paralleling the track to act as a ‘feeder’ system. Benefit: No slowing down as engine get’s further down the track. Switch powering can also be located on the layout , near the switch, as opposed to a Centralized control point… Great for trouble shooting.
Maybe not, but YOU’RE the guy asking the questions
