Building a Model Layout in the Garage - Part 33 - Control Panel Revisited

After watching another youtuber show off their control panel and having an issue with the button on mine, I decided to change the panel to using different buttons. The panel is a custom one from Dave at Megapoints http://t.ly/qZXN as is the button, but all the electronics are MERG.
