How to - shelf layout control multiple points

You could just get one of the remote switches - the ones used for turning xmas lights on/off - to cut the power to the whole thing.

You just need an IR remote extender. Amazon carries them as does Wally World:

This particular IR Extender contains a radio transmitter and reciever so as well as not needing to be in the same room you don't need to aim the hand-held remote at the base unit. Makes it easier for those of us with stiffness in our hands because one can hold the remote any which way and it will still work.

I use a simple 3 button "Super Switch". 

You can use one of three remote switches at three different outlets to power three different DCS power sources with a three button hand held.  Very simple, readily available at hardware stores and some big boxes.

You can use them anywhere in the house or shop for 110v circuits.  The hand held can also be mounted at the door to the train room to cut power at  three selected outlets anywhere in the room.

I use it for three added peninsulas where each peninsula has it's own individual control panel.   Walls and doors do not affect it's performance.

I use a three-button IR control unit  to command three controllers placed at AC wall outlets. Each controller activates a power strip designated for features of my layout:
   * Power for lighting 35 Dept 56 porcelain buildings
   *  Power to the master control panel (for lower level tracks, upper level trolley tracks, and 11 switches)
   *  Power for operating accessories.
Works great!  So simple my 6-year old great-grandson can do it.
