DCC equipment install

I rolled around a few ideas for what to do with the DCC system components. I wanted something elegant and "built in", not just the command station and related items stuffed on a shelf somewhere. Originally I had settled on a small wall-mounted 19" IT/telecom rack, but last night the design for this simple beauty hit me. I sat and pondered it a while, and this morning I went to get some lumber and put it all together. It beats the cost and unnecessary complexity of the rackmount idea.

This is located under the Prince, WV portion of the layout. Removal of two screws allows it to swing down for service. I wanted a single power switch for the entire layout. That's on the left side, light switch with indicator light. I built this with two holes for Digitrax boosters, although I only have one at the moment. I plan to add a DCS100 and split the layout into two power districts. Also visible is the Locobuffer USB, I mounted it to be visible because of the status LEDs on it. Originally I'd planned to use a dedicated Linux PC as a JMRI server, but since I have another machine just a few feet away (and it's on almost 24x7), I'll just use it instead. Just need to round up about a 12-15 foot USB A-B cable.
