I originally intended to run all my accessories using LCS ASC2s. I have 4 accessories wired that way. However, I wired my Hobby Shop with a switch as an interim fix. When I saw how much my grandson enjoyed pushing that switch to watch the layouts run around in the Hobby Shop I changed my mind and decided to wire most of the remainder of my accessories with traditional switches. Now my sawmill, barrel loader, gantry sound building and ice depot aren't embarrassed by the messy make-do switches.
This is what it looked like when I began:

I used those Wago connectors. I love them.
I next tackled my #38 Water Tower. After I had installed it I realized it's sized for traditional Lionel trains. The spout would hit scale tenders. I decided to raise the Tower 1" using foam board. I didn't smooth the sides, just coated them with "smooth it" and painted it grey...rustic concrete I guess. Now I can use it on any of my tenders. This short video shows it in action with the BigBoy tender.
