I reached a major milestone tonight! 
I wired up the three t.o.'s ran a whole whack of feeders, got them all soldered up and fired up the Power Cab. Once I confirmed that the wiring was sound, no shorts, I was able to successfully test run a loco from one end of the layout to the other on the first attempt. No derailments, and the track work is nice and smooth through the newly installed t.o.'s and straights. I'm feeling pretty good about the way things are finally starting to progress now. Now I cannot wait to get the remaining bits of track work in. Then I'll probably take a breather for a week and start planning on painting the track. Good times.
