Thank you very much, bil! With my strict observance of wire colors, the layout should be very easy to wire and to troubleshoot.
The control panel is still sitting in my living room. I did connect an extension cord to it so I can power it up, and I have a short piece of track tied to the DCC so I can fool around with my sound equipped locos. I have been working on the layout, so maybe I'll be running some trains in a few weeks. I also connected an uncoupler electromagnet, pushbutton, and relay rail to test that part of the control panel. It all worked!
