Ok, I KNOW you won't let me down.Anyone have favorite wire tags for labeling layout wiring?
i used the wire from the wire tags to make steps and ladders from .... it was the right diameter and already anodized near black in colour
these were wire tags [ a piece of stiff small diameter steel wire] with a small square of yellow card stock paper attached ...used to label small pieces or groups of items ..
I have a similar label maker that I have found lots of uses for, to include labeling wiring.

Color coding is my mantra. I would frankly avoid red/black pairing as anything other than a +12V power supply bus, as this is a universal standard. Here's my scheme:
The problem occurs in my local zones where it's annoying to quickly pick out "which bus is track 2?".
Oh, right, ok.So I'm doing detection for signaling. That means that each track that's detected needs its own "block" and bus. That's why I need to label things because I have two (or more) parallel sets of red and white wires running under the layout.
