¡°Have question on feeder wiring. Will send photo to you in the Pictures folder.?
Is this ok to have bare wire at bend touching side of track or should the bend still have the insulation touching.¡±
?
Not a problem if the bare feeder isn¡¯t touching something conductive such as wire screen, or worse, other wires on the layout.

In fact, so folks will remove the insulation from where it touches the rail all the way down into the roadbed.? Wire that has been stripped is much easier to hide than wire still covered in insulation.? A large layout I worked on used wires stripped from phone cable as feeders to the track.? A wire went to every section of rail, rail joiners were not trusted to conduct electricity, only for mechanical alignment.? Phone wire sized feeders were up to 24¡± long (due to necessity) between track bus and rail and we never had any problems.
