All of our insulated electrical wires can safely be used on both DC and DCC model railway layouts for powering the tracks, wiring point motors to adding lighting into buildings. No matter what the requirement we have a wire for the job. This wire is hand measured, and cut, so allow differences of up to 5% in lengths. We buy our wire from several UK suppliers, and although the specifications of the wires are the same, there can be some differences between the outer diameter sizes and the outer colours of the wires. All of our electrical wire is manufactured to DEF61-12 Part 6 Type 2/3 and BS4808 part 2 standards. Please select the Colour, Length and Type from drop down menus above.
