and some progress outside!
The ladder rack to take a double track on top.
Construction includes brown electrical trunking / conduit along the sides of the 'ladder' to carry the air lines and any cables for that local area (The cables which run to the back of the garden are already buried and surface into a weatherproof junction box)

Re: Some more wiring and control gear
That's nothing compared to what my (indoor) N Gauge used to be like! As long as you keep the bare wires covered it actually all works without many issues.
On wiring, those 'Wago' connectors are brilliant compared to your normal screw terminal connector blocks. Available from Screwfix & RS Components
