I would like to find out what are good gauge sizes to use for general 1/35 electrical wiring and hydraulic lines.

Will the bare copper artistic wire do the trick?

Thanks

I tend to use old electrical wire (speaker wire is best) burn off the plastic and untangle the copper wire.

I use what ever looks right to scale

There is not a one size fits all. I have a selection of wire gauges. I will pick up wire that is free or on sale. It is not very expensive. The most I paid was $6 for 120 feet.
