On a more expensive note there are the "distribution Panels made by MTH. very similar to barrier strips with jumpers. One hot and one neutral input and I believe 24 out puts of each hot and neutral.

coach Joe,

Those "distribution Panels made by MTH" are great - very easy to wire. They do take up a lot of real estate though! I have moved to doing most of my wiring on the slightly recessed 1" x 4" frame members for my train tables. That way, I just pull the wires through the table, and do the wiring on the sides of the layout benchwork -- no more crawling under the tables. The MTH distribution panels are too large for the 1" x 4" framework.

I will just put removable skirts around the layout, covering the wiring, but, giving ready access from the sides.
