JD,
I think we discussed this in another thread but check out thread linked below on Lionel Dealer Display Layouts. It's many pages but has some good pictures of layouts with PW-style control panels.
Granted most of them don't have the number of items you are planning on (although most have ZWs) but may give you some ideas, especially on attaching to the layout board.

I really enjoy that thread. The dealer display slanted panel is what I’m going for, although most are quite short, less than 10 inches or so. Also, a lot of those dealer displays had the controls mounted right on the table top.

Agreed, you would probably want something longer.

I think those Lionel panels were attached with a carriage bolt arrangement. I've seen a good how-to on these somewhere. Could have been here on the forum? Also, I think CTT Magazine did a series on building a PW display that used these attached panels.
