I've been reading alot about people having problems with frost heave damaging wiring and then there is aways the problem of corrosion with wireling buried in the ballast or the ground. If you do have a problem with it, or want to change or add something, you mess up your ballast to get to the wire. I have noticed that several layouts I've come across have telegraph or power poles that run alongside the track. Why not run the buss wires on the poles? Tap in, and run the feeders down the pole ,and across to the track. For lighting, just hang your lights on the power poles. That would put all but very short sections of your wire out in the open where you can get to it to work on it easily. It would keep it from being submerged when it rains. What's more prototypical than real wires on power poles? Run the wires back to the power station where the train drops off the coal!
