Congratulations, Nick.  I hope to be as disciplined for my next layout.  I tend to push, push, push so that I can run trains, with the resultant mess.

Well, maybe the month of weekends...

I finally finished running the plethora of wires from my new staging yards to the back of the control panel.  This time I actually followed my own advice and carefully bundled and labeled everything.  Still need to connect the panel to the wiring runs though...

Back of panel terminals:

Under layout wiring runs:

Track Connections:

Along the way, I realized just how lax with the organization I had been with the old wiring...So my next project, while I have everything out from under the layout, will be cleaning up the old wiring to reflect my new standards.
