I'm building a shelf-type urban industrial module (three  8' x 2' tables in an 18' x 8' L-shaped layout) and was wondering about how many control panels to place and where, or whether to use the fascia as one giant control panel, placing the switch toggles in front of the actual switch locations.

I am looking to add some of the roundish marker lights found on the ends of the hoods of D&H RS 2/3's to my HO diesels, does anyone know who makes this type of detail?

thanks in advance,

Bill

After considerable thought I decided on an around the wall with an island design, as can be seen in pictures the bench near the window is 100 cm 39.5" x 60 cm 24" , on back wall insert 1 50 cm 19.75" x 50 cm 19.75", the centre island is 150 cm 50.125" x 60 cm 24", insert 2 50 cm 19.75" x 50 cm 19.75", bench along west wall is 190.5 cm 75" x 450 cm 17.75" and stands 130 cm 51.125" high. All materials were on hand from previous projects. Cross supports were cut to size and drilled to allow wiring.

I had a relative and her husband visit for Thanksgiving.  He knows little about trains but was willing to try running a train to do some switching.  He was impressed with how complicated it could be - far more challenging than it looked.
