Because I'm a Lionel loyalist, my 1x3 fascia boards are painted Lionel Orange, with (mostly) Lionel #90 control buttons mounted on the fascia in alignment with each action accessory. The fascia boards are screwed to the inner edges of four hollow-core doors, which are the platforms for my L-shaped layout - 15x19 feet and covered with green patio carpeting. The fascia boards are 30-inches above the floor - just right for use by my two great-grandsons
Switch controllers, toggle switches for track power to sidings, two Lionel sound buttons, and a control box for DC track power to three trolley lines on the upper level are mounted on a pull-out drawer. A Lionel 135w PowerHouse, two MTH Z1000 "bricks" and a Lionel PowerMaster are mounted on another pull-out drawer, all adjacent to a power strip. The drawers slide back under the platform when not in use.
