Wiring and electrical work is not my strong suit. I’m in the process of preparing to wire up two DPDT momentary toggle switches to my Kato turnouts. The max amps for the turnouts is 3 with a recommended .5 to .8 amps for powering each turnout. I’m utilizing a 1.5 amp 12V wall adapter to provide power. My question is…what gauge wire should I use to wire the toggle switches themselves? The wires that are already present on a Kato turnout when purchased are 26 gauge so would 26 gauge work for the entire system, excluding the wire coming from the 12V 1.5 amp power supply? Here is a diagram of what the wiring needs to look like:
