You're getting good advice from OGR Forum-ites and helpful suggestions from Mianne; all to the good!

If you haven't already decided, I suggest adding a fascia board (1xt3 inches) around selected sections of the perimeter as a mounting board for control buttons near each operating accessory - a great feature for kid visitors who never seem to tire of pushing buttons. Like many other hobbyists, I used that method on my layout.

Although I installed TMCC, I opted NOT to apply that system to operate switches and accessories. My 81-year old brain would be overloaded if challenged to remember all the ID codes to Lionel SC-2 devices! I have MANY operating accessories, so placing the control buttons (Lionel #90 preferred) on the fascia works for me -- and for my great-grandsons.
