The wiring of the first 8 foot section has completed using the rotary stands. Mounting the 18 turnout motors from the top down with this section inverted was quite a bit easier than sitting under the upper level and working above my head.
Lots of wire since I have a buss for each power block. There is wiring for frog power and to switch the power on and off to the locomotive servicing tracks.
Multiple busses each on its own power block and circuit breaker. These are the blue and gray wires. Starting at the bottom is the branch line buss. Above it is the yard buss (looks like a loop through middle) for classification tracks, reefer track, REA building and car shop. The top buss is for locomotive serving areas - Coal tipple for steam, diesel service area and diesel house. Also, a master buss that feeds the circuit breakers for the individual busses.
