That foam is a no go. It will be a problem.Try to find pink or blue stuff.Go straight down the bench top. Much easier than trenching.I dont know about anyone else but I plan to organize my Kato feeders with power Distribution Blocks; while the switches, are thrown by Digitrax DS-64.One consideration is the color coding. Those switches arrive with red and black wires. You might want to find another color set for your power bus. You already have blue/white for feeders.One more tidbit, dont start scenery until all of you Kato unitrack is down, wired and running well.I dont know about you but Ive seen two inches solid on top of wood or steel benchwork and it looked pretty good. YOu might want to layer-cake the inch layers or go on a journey and find two inches somewhere.Use the track gauge to pass your switches, I recall two of mine having very slight gauge problems on the frog where the factory insulators were. No biggie in my case, a moment with dremel cleared that up.Your feeder track section with the blue and white wires has a plate secured by a single screw underneath. Pull that plate and see which side your blue wire goes to. Take a ink pernament marker and mark that underside below the "Blue" rail. Mark the other track the "White" rail.Keeping track of your "Blue" rail on all of your feeders oriented to the same rail will help.Allow your switches to "Float" so that they can be gently taken out and replaced again if the thing ever dies on you. I dont know what the life of these switches are but the motors below look pretty robust.
