Layout control panels
William Brillinger:
Your panels are truly beautiful Alan!
nodcc4me:
Alan, your control boards are among the nicest I've seen. Your work is always impressive. ;)

You know, I had a guy on one of the popular model railroad forums attack Railpro (and myself because I used it) over and over again. He said something along the lines of 'Railpro is just a toy, you're not a serious model railroader' blah, blah, blah.
Everything I've seen on this forum from Railpro users is in direct contrast to his criticism. How many model railroads do you see with the kind of attention to detail that you espouse Alan? The work you do Alan is some really nice stuff. Excellent thought, planning, and workmanship. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

Alan, I think the panels will probably look good on any colour fascia simply because the panels, to my eye at least will keep your attention away from the fascia. It's the use of colours (blue, white, purple, orange etc) contained within that stained wood on the panels that does this.
As to fascia colour itself, I'll send a PM; I don't plan on opening any can's of worms here.

This person is probably just jealous, or too stupid to see the forest for the trees. I won't say any more; I think we all here know what happens on forums as soon as a person mentions or asks about RailPro; 3 good answers and 50 useless answers not answering anything more than the writers own excuses for not using it.

Alan:

That is the very reason I, for the most part, quit participating in model railroad forums except this one and occasionally MRR (seems most hobby newcomers are appreciative of assistance). Sadly, this hobby deserves much of the public reputation it has. The percentage of outspoken gruff old men is high. While they may be knowledgeable, skilled, and/or experienced, their crude delivery and rigid close-mindedness really sours, for me anyway, what otherwise would be interesting and thought provoking dialog.
