Since I started my layout in 1985 it's grown in s semi orderly way to the present point.? I've managed to add two medium sized yards,, a passenger staging yard and nearly doubled the trackage and turnouts too.? All this has been challenging and rewarding in sometimes reverse order!?

Over the weekend, I started to make some minor changes but of course, they all involve making sawdust and rerouting the 110V wiring.? I don't know what you guys have used but I seem to have many outlet strips.? None of the uses need heavy wiring but I did wiring for 20 amps.? But over these years I probably have 15+ outlet strips.? These are the ones typically have a half dozen branch outlets, a surge protector, and often some phone connectors all in one plastic box with slotted mounting 'holes'.? Obviously I don't use the phone outlets so that area is wasted real estate for my use.? Then those 6-8 outlets are too close as in today's world many have wall wart transformer that block additional outlets to the point that only two plugs can be used.? Next, those hidden slotted mounting holes take tolls on one's patience,? So I've spent countless hours rerouting them to make life easier--so far mostly a fut al attempt!?

So with that in mind, I've got just a bit more to do in one corner of the room, then it's time for a small glass of wine--join me? ? Okay two glasses!
