Go with the stranded anyway... Easier to work with, more forgiving when routing through tight spots and when stripping insulation (a tiny nick might break one or two strands, wheras on solid wire, you may break the entire wire and have to start again).
Don't ask how I know this... hamr

just curious
why do you need 22 gauge specifically ?
Im using it for feeders from my 14 gauge bus.just curious

I don`t want to hijack this thread but I have a question regarding wire.
would using 2 strands of solid telephone wire be suitable as feeder wires.
I have used fairly small gauge hookup wire as feeders on some spurs and they seem to work OK.
Are you doing dc or dcc? In dc the telephone wire will work, but for dcc you need a larger gauge. I'm not sure, but I think 2 strands of telephone wire would be as good as a 22 ga wire, but it might be more bulky particularly where it is soldered to the rail.
