I like Mike Fifer's 3D Control Panel and built mine based on his instructions.  So far I've created the panel with the 3D track layout - for the part that has remote switches only.  I built a wooden frame for it, slight angel back from vertical.  And I've begun to mount the terminal strips behind the panel using a left over bit of plexi-glass.  I'm still am waiting for six more terminal strips to arrive to complete that part of the projct. 

I have every intention of not letting it look like this - .... lets see where the road paved with good intentions leads me. ....  

Anyway this is what is used to look like inside

And with the lid closed (it was hinged - new one uses Fifer's idea of velcro).  

Anyone want used Atlas control system?  

So - it all came out and it now looks like this: 

And beside it I used the same plexi-glass to create a DCC Panel to mount my NCE plug-in port, my DC-DCC DPDT and made my own hand-held controller pocket.  The DC-DCC DPDT switch will allow power to the track either from the DCC system OR the one remaining DC unit (that old but faithful Troller).  It will mean that the turn table is off limits to the DC system but I can live with that.  I'll be using a DCC auto-reverser for the T-Table (once I figure it out).  But I have a few DC units that will never be converted to DCC (some are just too small or troublesome and I have too many) but not yet prepared to turn them into stationary models.  

Need to put some velcro under that Troller to keep it from moving around.  

And the view from the other side below: 

Not much wired yet.  Have lots of under-the-table back-aching work to do in the coming months.  

Beside this DCC panel will be my T-Table controller.  It is an vintage Arni-Rapido Turn Table - and no I have not yet figured it out - that will be another day another post.
