       wiring

       I am hooking up a few new accessories.
       I am trying to decide whether to mount their switches on my
       control panel or place their switches locally behind the
       accessories. I know centrally wiring everything to a panel looks
       neater and more professional, but that makes for a lot of wires
       and long runs going into and out of the panel.
       I do already have some trunk wires for items that are always on.
       Thanks for your suggestions.

       It depends on your preference. Do you want centralized control
       of your accessories, or do you like walking around your layout
       to operate each accessory?
       Large layouts like clubs have centralized control.

       I prefer to place the switch in close proximity to the
       accessories.
