Wow, this took off while I was offline!! 
Thank you everyone for all the great comments. Andy, the Tortoise installation looks great under the table and above. The Atlas track really looks nice as well. I can appreciate your comment, since I know about carpal tunnel. I have had carpal tunnel surgery twice on each hand! Both were done in 1995 and both again in 2015.
Thank you Dave for sharing that link! It looks like Lyle and Mike benefited as did I! 
So Friday evening, I was finishing up the last of my track install and making some permanent power connections. I got out a little box I had some GarGraves bumper posts in and made a discovery! I did not think I had that much train stuff that I would find something I didn't know I had. However, there in the box were two clear plastic bags, one with 5 DZ1000s and the other with 5 DZ push buttons. I do not remember buying them, but assumed I bought them used since the wires and terminal covers were missing. Today, I opened the bags and saw an index card saying 'Thanks' and someone's name. I found that name in my PayPal contacts, but PayPal seems to only let me search back for transactions this year and last. I must have had them since 2018. Here I bought more and never knew I had these 5. 
So, I'll change the topic title since the track is all installed. Permanent wiring has begun. Also a note on the switch operating discussion. I already had received a DZ2500 by the time Dave first mentioned the Gold N Rods. I decided to fasten it down, since I have it and decide later if I'll actually use it. It would work in this application, but I agree the Caboose Industries ground throws and the Tortoise installations look much better. The wires aren't connected as you can actually see the ends of some of them peaking out from under the engine house.
As to height clearance in the yard, I have just a smidgeon over 1 1/2 inches between the roofwalk of this car and the plywood. Of course as shown by Andy, the switch machine could be mounted off to the side somewhere. Man, that does look good Andy!
Well, things to ponder and perhaps more stuff to offer for sale besides some GarGraves and Ross 042, 054, and 064 track and some switches. I'll keep the track for a while and see how I like things and if I want to make changes.
