What is the best way to attach the extended tail pieces to the switch machine and controller wires.  I was thinking of using heat shrink tubing, though overkill, it's compact, strong and flexible.

Mike: I don't use the controller but with the switch motor wires I drill a hole in the train board, drop the wires down then crimp ferrules on the ends. I insert the wires into a European connector (cut them in groups of three). The extension wires then go into the mating holes. If you ever need to remove the switch motor it is easy to disconnect the wires from the terminal strip and pull up through the hole in the board.
