New control panel for my prewar Christmas layout. My dad's switch controllers and knife switches. Eventually some label, name plates and more appropriate bulbs. I debated incorporating a prewar rheostat but decided against it.

Hi Will:

Great little control panel!! Are the switches original or new? I'm looking for reliable vintage looking knife switches and other Prewar Lionel switches.

Thanks, Michael

All original from my Dad. The switches are a 012s, a nightmare to get working with the tiny wires from the solenoids which are always breaking. It took 4 switches to make 2 and the chrome motor cover is def a bit rust pitted. It was tempting to just have loops and no switches.
