legless, you might have done the same thing by interweaving the black cable tie. Nice idea, Those things can be expensive in NZ.

Looks very neat, but I don't have any wires that thick on my layout!  |

Excellent idea, as it is much cheaper than purchasing actual cable routing raceway (Slotted Wall Wiring Duct for example, like this: https://www.digikey.com/...0189/277-5412-ND/2525017 ).  What some do is rather than raceway is they use the flexible binding combs as slotted ducts/raceway.  But then the wires are all inside the one comb and hard to clearly see. Your approach makes following a wire much easier. I wonder if there was an "ugliest train table underside" contest how bad it would be. :) |
