Helped a friend with a 3Rail layout who said we had to use ring connectors, then we went to rewire a few things a year or so later and the guys helping wanted to know "What fool used ring terminals???!!!" and all the wires were cut and had fork terminals installed.
Your wiring job looks nice and neat!
Yea - I know what you mean - been there. I use either wire ferrules (for European style terminals) or spade crimps for American style terminals under the table. The terminals are big and the spade connects can be screwed in tight. For small connectors like the Atlas O stuff I tried spade connects and they kept coming loose because one can not clamp down tight enough with such a small set screw.
