I started thinking of building a Lionel 027 layout in 2006. It began with a temporary layout and one transformer on top of a pool table. As I began to figure things out, I built a permanent 5’ x 9’ layout. As I continued to learn about the electrical needs of the layout, the control panel slowly evolved and expanded. By 2013 it is in its final form and is working well.
Nice work David,
They are fun to do. [:)]
Here is mine.
When I started,
After some more stuff.
After more stuff.
And more.
Expandable and clean.
Real nice guys, very inspirational. Thanks for sharing!!
Nice work guys!
David,
Thanks for starting this thread and sharing the video of your control panel.
Kev,
Thanks for sharing your photos as well.
Both of you do great work and I’m glad you are willing to share it with us. I have limited electrical and wiring skills so seeing these photos benefits me greatly.
Regards,
Joe
Great Work Guys.
David: The LW is a favorite of mine. What I saw of the layout it looks great.
Kev: Looking good. I wonder where you work before you retired! LOL

David, i always enjoy seeing photos of your layout! Your layout is one that many could attempt to build with limited space and a modest budget. Thanks for posting.
I wish I didn’t have dial-up so I could watch the video! [banghead] [(-D]

Here’s my control panel at an early stage of construction. It contains 2 Z-1000’s, switches and meters. Sorry it doesn’t show a close up but it was all I could find this morning.
Finally! I’ve been trying to sneak a peek at your control panel everytime you post your pix. Looks really nice!
