Mark,
Big Mike G is my kind of guy always thinking about putting the other guy to work so he can play with his Trains! A thinking man no doubt about it.
Big Mike G,
The power drops run in a gap between the shelf and the wall on top of the shelf where you can hardly see them. The wires run along the slot and come down at the power station, that is under construction in one of the corners of the Train room. Works out real well due to the type of Brackets I used for the shelving and the 14 Gauge wire stiffness.

You can see the yellow wires in this picture that still need to be placed properly, they come out from under the shelving and are held on the wall, by a plastic electrical ties as they go into the Terminal Block. It's working out pretty much like I planned, in fact the Bar Top Train layout will have its wiring routed in the same manner. The bigger layout on the other side of the 29' room, will have its wiring drops connected to the over head layout also. Placing the TIU up in the air on the wall between the layouts is working out well also, no signal loss at all so far, on any of the layouts under construction.
