John-
That works well enough if underneath your track you have bricks and open space
to run wires. Doesn’t help if under the track is baseplates and tables!
Bypassing the LEGO track connector wires does seem like a good idea. They are
expensive and you never have enough.
At least you have a solution that works for you, we don’t have one at all (yet).
One idea that appeals to me is to make a flex PCB circuit that would come up
between tables (paper thin) and connect to the tracks as the tables are joined.
