This is my first attempt at designing a control panel. Looking for feedback on design, layout and functionality. 

SCL =Standard Car Length. 

The printed card will be covered with plexiglass. The mainline crossover turnouts (1 & 6) will be wired to a single switch to throw both turnouts together. 

I've often heard there are two ways to operate a model railroad: 1) the ever-popular Car Cards & Waybills (CC/WB) system, or 2) Switchlists. But I'm wondering whether there's a 3rd way that doesn't get much mention - or maybe I've missed it. . .

The Kettle Falls turn served as a bridge connecting between to Nelson BC and to the 7th subdivision connecting to Republic WA via Grand Forks BC.

Need fruit crate labels printed for your orchard business? Up or down California, Schmidt Litho can handle it. 1/87 model and photo by me, from a Monster Modelworks kit. Scratch partial 3D interior and LED lights.
