HOW TO
KEEP MY WIRING TIDY
Q I’m currently doing the wiring for my layout but I’m getting tangled in a maze of wires underneath the baseboard. How do I keep things tidy under there to give me more space and make things easier?

Chris says: Particularly when wiring your first layout, it can be very easy to get carried away with making trains run and not pay too much attention to the wiring. The result can be something that looks a bit like the ‘before’ picture here, with wires dangling below the baseboard like a line laden with washing. It works perfectly well, but there is a danger of damaging the wires and it becomes a lot harder to move underneath the layout. Fortunately, having tidy wires underneath your layout is easy to achieve, and although it may require a bit more wire, the end result is much neater.
