Hi,
I think you must use the same wire as on "power resistor": these 
resistors use some "resistor wire" (don't know the correct word..) and 
the wire is "coiled" on the support; the thinest (and longest) you have, 
the much resistance you have. I remember that when i works on electronic 
kits (it was 10 or 15 years ago !) i made some resistors like that when 
i can't find the correct value. I bought at an electronic shop this 
"resistor wire" (the seller must tell you what is the resistance / foot 
) and then you wind this wire on an insulator support (or on the air if 
the wire is enough large).
About the gauge you must know what is the correct resistance of the full 
coil. I 've measured mine some years ago (don't know if '57 gauges are 
the same) so i can tell you (tomorrow !) the resistance.
