Number of wire feeds for a 60 foot O scale layout

Classic Trains General Discussion

Hello,

My project is a 60 foot ceiling layout for one Lionel locomotive pulling 12 cars. The track is Gargraves (flexible track), connected to an 80 watt Lionel transformer. I have no idea how many feeder wires should be installed (and at what interval? gauge of wire?) in order to ensure a smooth and fast operation of the train. Any advice that anyone is able to provide would be really appreciated.

Hi - welcome to the forums. You may get a better response if you repost your question in the Classic Toy Trains forum. The Classic Trains forum focus is on prototype railroading.
