For track power I like to run 14 ga. 16 or 18 would probably be OK.
For switch machines, depending on the type, 12 to 16 (snap action machines need heavier wire than motor types.)
Scenic lighting etc, 18's probably fine.
The only problem with too large a wire is cost and ease of use. Using too SMALL a wire however WILL cause voltage drops and reulting poor operation.
