    I'm starting to wire my layout for DCC and looking for some recommendations of online retailers for wire, terminal strips, and other such items.

    What online retailers do you use and any specific recommendations (brands of wire / terminal strips) are appreciated. I'll be using a 22 awg stranded wire on my Kato Unijoiners.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris -

    For wire, I like Bulk Wire. I purchased spools in 8 different colors a couple of years ago, which has allowed me to color-code my layout wiring.

    For terminal strips, I purchased from Mouser. You can often save money on these "hardware" type items by using surplus vendors such as All Electronics and Electronic Goldmine. The only downside is that they don't always have exactly what you are looking for, whereas a full-line vendor like Mouser keeps most everything in stock.
