How do you mount your Zephyr
Posted by Glenn in Tulsa on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 8:50 AM

I have a Zephyr Booster/Command Station which is adequate for my Branchline railroad.

The only problem I have with it is the case...

So my question is - How do you mount your Zephyr? On the Facia? On/under the benchwork? Specialized shelf?

Pictures would be helpful

Glenn:

I suppose that there are as many answers to your question as there are Zephyr users.  I mounted mine on a small shelf near the center of my yard complex.  I like the controls for switching.  I have a DT400r that I use for over the road control.  Some folks mount the Zephyr in an out of the way location and rely solely on DT400 or UT series throttles.

Mine is mounted on the facia with Velcro. I added super glue to the Velcros adhesive backing to make sure it wouldn't peel off.

I have a 2 x 8 foot switching layout. I built a small shelf on the front fascia.  I have the Zephyr on one end, next to it I narrowed the shelf and put down an 18" piece of track for my programming track.

I mounted mine under the layout with keyboard slide rails bought at Home Depot.
