Reply to "What methods do you use to hold your wiring under the layout?"

In addition to securing the wires I would suggest that you label them as you go; and in different locations for long runs.

I am a fanatic about labeling at the beginning and the end of the wire--right on the wire as well as labeling every 18 to 36 inches on the longer runs.

Here's what the inside of my last layout's control panel looked like after labeling and when you closed its door.  It may look like a rat's nest, but in minutes you could trace from any of the turn-out control push-buttons or track occupancy lights back the other end at the switch or yard track.
