I needed some control panels at various locations on the layout to control powered switch machines.  Panels on previous layouts were done with painted Masonite and colored tape.  Workable but not very sophisticated, especially when labels were needed.  My current control panels were created with a CAD package (Cadrail 9), printed on regular printer paper and laminated at a local Staples office supply store.  Laminating provides needed protection and stiffness.

I figure I will just throw this out there and see what kind of response I get. I will be building a farming scene (in N scale) and want to know of any available kits out there for a barn, a farm house and any other out-buildings, etc., that people know about. There are some standard kits out there, but recent posts and MRH articles showed me that there might be kits or manufacturers out there that I haven't even heard of. The era is 70s/80s as well, so I'm not really interested in anything that would have been built in the last 25-30 years.
