Ed,
I like to use electrical wire from a hardware store. Its very cheap and you
can search till you find the right size. There are several sizes of
electrical wire at hardware stores and you buy the wire per foot. What you
want is the little brass wires that make up the electrical wire. Find the
brass wire that fits the holes in your tracks. Different type tracks have
different size holes. You just have to strip off some of the rubber to get to
the brass wire coiled up. It is best to use a drill to bore out the holes.
Use super glue to hold in the wires. I used a pair of plyers to push the
wires through.
