New Control Panels

I have been in the process of making new control panels. One for the New Paper Mill and one to replace to temporary one at Wiscasset.
In both cases the bleed over from white paint into the black was not acceptable and the new panel just didn't look right.
It would be easier in the long run to re-make the paper mill panel and change some of the holes around for a better layout and then re-paint the other one.
As of this afternoon the new panels were much better and I can start installing them tomorrow. Then once that is done (and programming to the computer) I will have full local control, which will make testing and ops much easier.
