NTS&B Phase 5 modern crane and coal loader flip down control panel

I needed somewhere to mount the extra tall controls for the cranes and coal loaders.   I finally decided to mount them on a flip down panel.  The one for the modern crane and coal loader on the side for the outer 2 loops controls is now complete. The actual shelves were completed a couple weeks ago.   I had to replace belts and grease on both units to get them to work, since they haven't been run since 1998.   I got them working today, and finished mounting the controls to the shelf.  The shelves will normally be closed to keep them out of the way.  The shelf flips down when needed to operate the equipment, and sticks out about 4 inches.  For open houses, the shelf will be closed so little hands will not be playing with them.
