Good Morning,
I put an old school O27 Remote Track into one of my sidings. I noticed that the controller and the four wires to the track are quite attached. How to you run those under your table? Do I have to take the back off of the controller and detach the wires or cut and re-attach. Thanks!
On a side note, how come my K-Line milk car is so heavy? Man, those are heavy boxcars! Have a great day everyone!

If you cut the wires or take the wires off mark them with something like a dot of paint or ink on both sides of the cut so you can match your wires up again.
Not sure if you can take the wires off the control unit or not as you may have to un-solder and re-solder the wires.

If these are Lionel 1122 switches, the wires from the controller to the switch are held in place by 3 thumb nuts on the switch. Mark the wires if necessary, so they can be reinstalled the same way. Disconnect the wires. Drill a hole in the board near the switch terminals, and another by the controller. Thread the wire down into the board from the controller, and up near the switches. Reattach the wires, and you're done. Three wire ribbon cable for the controllers is available, if you need to rewire the controllers to reach the switches.
