I finally completed the wiring and installation of the control panel for Lampson Yard and Berg Locomotive Terminal.
In an effort to keep it low profile and eliminate as many catching edges as possible, I used push buttons rather then toggles. Yellow LEDs indicate if the track is powered or not. Blue LEDs, sorta hard to see in the pic, indicate "blue signal protection" for the service tracks. Eventually, they will connect with blue flags on the layout as well.
A steel plate provides a purchase point for my throttle and uncoupling pick.

Congratulations! Looks really good. This week I just completed a control panel for my yard and turntable. Doesn't it really feel good when it is finished, done, and working! Now you're on to the next thing.

Looks very good, Nick. The color scheme reminds me of the full-scale panels I saw through the windows of the control rooms (can't call them towers, although that was the function they served) at the IRT 125th Street Station, back when I was riding NYC subways to and from school.
