Thanks for the information. I do wish I had known about MTH before I got started. I only knew Lionel. So when I went looking for cars and locomotives and track, I shot right straight to the Lionel website. I saw fastrack, decided, that's me, and bought a box of 50 straights and some curves. Then I discovered MTH, and Realtrax, and as you said the lock ons, and by that time it was too late because I'm retired, Warren Buffet is not my uncle, and I don't play the lottery. So I had to proceed with what I started. It took me forever to get my room ready for track, so by the time I got around to track, wire, TIU and AIU and transformers and the Base 1L blue box, I was as lost as a pair of glasses that were never in the house to begin with.
So if I do anything at all, it will first be to remove all the screws I used to secure it to the floor. How I ran the wire is fine, it gives the look character. What I would do is concentrate on running the 14 from the TIU to the Terminal Board, probably buy a 24 screw board so I can eliminate the doubling up, and run each booster wire individually one at a time, black and red wires so as not to get myself into some sort of bird nest of confusion because I went too fast. I can use shrink tubing to secure the wire to the clip, I have plenty of extra clips. The biggest obstacle is deciding whether or not to go about it.
As I have stated, it may not be right, but since it works without noticeable problems, or for that matter, any problems, why fix what isn't broken. It's like the deadbolt I installed on mom's sunroom door. I installed it upside down. Woops. But it works. It latches, it locks, and it's upside down.
