I used peg board which is the same that I used on the back of the control area. The pic. is of the left side of the lift-bridge looking out.
I also put piano hinges on the R-L sides so that I could open the gate's peg board sides to access trains stored on shelves behind. Held closed by magnetic latches. That way, I don't have to stop trains from running to access part of the "inventory".
