    If your layout is permanent I do what Shinkansen said, clamp them together and drill and bolt, they will never move. Stay away from the pattern maker dowels it is very hard to align them perfectly. I now use hardwood dowels and drill the frames with a boring machine, that gives me perfect alignment every time. My old exhibition baseboard had them and they never wore down after a year and a half of constant use. If your planning to take it apart the odd time, clamp the frame then drill 8mm holes and fit hardwood dowels, then drill and bolt them together.

    Another thing I do is to solder the fish plates to the rails, but you have to leave a few un soldered for expansion.

    2.5 T&E is overkill, also DCC power shouldn't be sent through a solid core cable as you can get voltage drops. Always use multistrand cable.

    I use 4 core alarm cable for the droppers from the rail, I just strip the red and black out and its cheap to buy just €12, for a 100 mtr roll. For the bus I use .75 control panel flex, a 100 mtr roll is €14. You will need a roll of red and black. Go to an electrical wholesaler, stay away from B&Q and Woodies their a rip off. Solder every joint and make sure your droppers are no more than 2 mtrs apart.
