I have grown to despise the task!!!!
Since I have a Christmas layout running under DCS, multiple trains means blocking, with 20 to 30 switches under AIU control, all accessories under AIU control, and the fact that my layout changes every year, it's a dreaded task!
I put in place every single wire before I put down the first piece of track because I want to enjoy the build and getting the dreaded task out of the way first is like clearing your dinner plate of lima beans first so you can enjoy the good stuff!
