The electrics begin to go in.  i want to be able to plug the table in and so an extension lead was fitted.  i wanted power at the desk and a USB  to connect to the Arduino.  I also fitted an isolation switch so I can use the desk power and not have the layout powered up.  the Main DCC bus cables are not installed as are the 3v and 5v circuits.  These circuits will all be running to various terminal blocks to allow easy access.

Time to put the table top on and following some detailed measurements of track and point widths I finally reached the conclusion that the table would be divided 25 percent for back stage and 75 percent for the display area.  OK, it was more of a gut feel, but, after holding various pieces of ply at different points i think it is right.

I then built the dividing screen but before that I cut two sections of the table to allow me to lift them when wiring in the track.  I will still have to work underneath for some items but the removable secctions should save my knees.  There will be more terminal blocks added to the lift outs for feeder wires and the servo motors that will drive the points.
