It is two small a gauge and will get very hot and have a high resistance.

How good is your imagination? Making trees, stringing fences, tieing down wagon loads, even for winding coils for solenoids.

I have 34 gauge. Thanks for advice.

2) Wound coils can be electromagnets, as in regular point (turnout) motors, which have a coil that pulls an iron rod to change the rail (or signal) position. This principle can be used to make various working features on a layout.

3) It can be used for fine wire links on PCBs, when you build electronic circuits, and for connecting small components, such as SMT LEDs in model vehicle headlights.
