Trench Sidings Attempted Tracklaying

The pointwork for the layout was made by Tony Wilkins some time ago but everything went on hold as I built a new garage.
The main section of pointwork was made in one peice and I have attemted to lay this, first soldering on wire droppers (tinned coper wire) but have now hit a problem. There are so many droppers that I cant find a way to get them all into the holes I have drilled in the baseboard!
The first photo is of the pointwork before I added the droppers.

The second photo is the underside with the droppers added.

The suggestion is that I solder on some flexible wire onto the end of the stiff droppers, so that will be the next job.

Dave,

with the close proximity of all these droppers, would it be worth having a sub layer that was in essence a local bus-bar assembly rebated into the trackbed substrate before a simplified dropper arrangement goes from these through the trackbed and thence to the board bus-bars?
