    I have never used this tape and I'm looking for recommendations. In particular what width?
    I'm going to start converting my N scale locos to DCC and understand that the tape is used in the process.
    Am I better off with a wide size, say one inch, then cut it down to the width needed or would half an inch be better to start with?
    Any other suggestions are welcome.

    I find 1" to be a bit too wide. The two sizes I often end up using is 3/8" and 1/2" with the 3/8" being more useful for me. 1/4" is too narrow.

    Note, I'm N scale so if you are HO, the 1" might be better.

    for HO scale, a combination of 3/8 and 1/2 inch works fine
