Hellow all,
Working on my 10’ X 21’ Mianne layout and tried to figure out how to run track feeds with out screwing in I hooks or screws in the I beams. You all may have seen this before but this is what I’m going to do. I used 3/4” plastic conduit cut to 1/2” one solid and one cut across an 1/8”. I’ll have to make 40 or so but these should work and easy to get to to shoot trouble.

STE, this is a great idea; wish I had thought of it!! I ran most of my wires through the holes that are already in the I-beams, but also ended up drilling a few extras.
Agreed. I also ran my wiring through the existing holes but I like your creative solution!
Excellent!
If I ever have the need to run wires (I run BPRC) I’ll keep this in mind. I may need to wire my turntable and a couple of turnouts at some point.
Looks good STE.
GREAT idea, STE! Thanks. 
Yes!!!!!
IME, Keep your wires up inside the framework. It is sooooo easy to catch and yank a wire loose when they hang from the bottom of the frame members. The idea is quick and neat but can be a hassle in the service stage. Ask me how I know!!
Also as the photo shows, I try to accomplish as much wiring as possible before the deck goes on. Easier to lean over than crawl under and reach up. The alpha notations were because the benchwork was built elsewhere and moved to present site. TT
