Got the old junk pulled from the cabinet and thanks to ongoign winter scrubbed the thing up by hand and a few buckets of water. Looks pretty good inside.

And if anyone's wondering what the individual NEMA backpanel parts look like...

Looks good all cleaned up on the inside, just need to work on shining the outside of the cabinet now! :thumbsup:

I started this a while back but had to put it on hold when I took a job call working 6/10 for 2 1/2 months. I finished it yesterday & it's working great. I patterned it after my original EM cabinet. The light on top is from that cabinet. I grew up in Chicago & that's where my first signals came from if you were wondering about the lettering. The cabinet is made form walnut left over from another project. Many thanks to Joe N for parts & everybody else here who helped me

WOW johnk12 -- that's one mighty handsome way to display a controller panel in a home 'living room' collection environment!!! :thumbsup:

What's the small red bulb on top? I like that design! Well done! :)

When got my original EM controller 40 years ago it was in a cabinet on a 6" pole with a base & had that red light on top. I think the controller was pretty old then. The light just comes on when the controller is running. I guess that's the way they made them back then. The EM controller failed a long time ago but I always liked the light. I did leave enough room to put another row of load switches in if I get more signals. left turn arrows would be nice.

I take it the snake coming out of the wall is for signals? I'm just floored at how great it looks!
