Pick your own word. The idea is, I put the plank in place. The place is not permanent, but it works well there. Most of the switching is done at that end of the railroad, and the DCC throttle cord is long enough to reach halfway down each long side of the benchwork. In this way I can keep hold of the controller while uncoupling, etc. I do have to set it down to do anything at the other end of the line.
I purchased an MRC extension plate a while back but realized afterwards that I'd need two in order to put one at the other end AND be able to plug in at the base station. So, for now, I'm happy as is. When I run a DC locomotive I have to either operate with a partner as brakeman/conductor or walk back and forth between the train and the throttle. That's okay too.
Two more things - the color is Mudstone, same as the fascia frame and the whole thing is switched on and off at the power strip, not pictured but just one shelf down and to the left of the plank.
