John,

Kudos for your awesome controls and beautiful oak cabinets and trim.  Wiring is my least favorite part of the hobby, better you than me planning and wiring these panels.

Thank you for the kind words.  Wiring is not my favorite part of the hobby, either.  Especially when I spend hours finding a short.  Yesterday, I had a short that I thought was in the new section that I'm wiring - but it turned out to be a passenger car on the old part of the layout. :-[

Today, was a very special day on the Superior & Seattle Railroad.  Wayne Olson returned to help me work on the layout after almost 5 months.  He is recovering from a broken hip and femur from a fall from a ladder.  I left everything in place where he was working on painting some rock work last may.  I think he got a kick out of it all being there waiting for him.  Anyway, good to have you back Wayne.  I solved a shorting problem that I was having yesterday and made some more progress on the wiring.

I found a great place to mount the frog juicer control panels under the layout.  The cabinets under the main control panels are sink base cabinets with "pop off" panels on the front.  So I'm mounting the juicer panels so they can be seen for maintenance or trouble shooting by "popping off"  the cabinet panels.  I have two mounted so far.

The area up under the control panels is sure getting full of wires.  I will take a picture when everything is in and hooked up.

John,

Not only is the oak cabinetry beautiful, the pop off panels is a great idea that anyone can use on their layout.  Thanks for sharing.

Very Very cool. The pop-off panels are just another level of clever. Seriously museum-grade top to bottom!


I will be in St. Louis-no matter what! ;)
