Control Panel for Model RR Taking Shape


Here is the drawer that will support my control panel. The drawer will not win me any prizes in woodworking, probably would get me a D in 9th grade shop (the last time I did any woodwork). However it seems to work. The actual control panel will cover the drawer and show the track layout plus the switches necessary to control the reversing loops and the turnouts (model RR terminology for switches). The control panel has the first layer of paint (white). I will but 1/4" tape down to show the track layout. The next step will be to paint it flat black and them remove the tape, showing the track layout in white. The final step will be to place and wire all the control switches.
