...Will the lamps on the lever control still function if I decide not to run the middle common/ground wire from the switch levers on the control board to the middle post of the turnouts on the table, but instead tie the middle wires of the levers to a common/ground buss bar within the control board itself?
This would be one less wire running from the control board to the table for each turnout used. So with 11 turnouts thats 22 fewer connections between the table and board. Or 44 fewer connections if one has plugs at the table, plugs at the board, and uses a connector cable between them.
