Control Panels

Scale Model Control Panel Enclosures and Mimic Panels

Our range of Scale Model Control Panel Enclosures (or mimic panels) are expertly crafted from 4mm or 6mm thick MDF, with 3mm laser-cut plywood front panels. Whether you choose from our range of predefined sizes or require specific dimensions, we can create custom enclosures to fit your exact needs.

Each enclosure is supplied flat-packed for easy self-assembly. Manufactured using precision laser cutting technology in our UK workshop, these enclosures provide a cost-effective and durable solution for housing your switches, indicators, and electronics.

Upgrade Your Mimic Panel with Custom Features

Looking to take your mimic panel to the next level? We offer a range of customization services, including engraving designs and notations on the front panels or supplying a reverse-engraved acrylic front panel for infill painting. If you have specific design ideas or critical enclosure dimensions, such as a display cut-out, we can work with you to create the perfect enclosure for your project.

Switches and Indicators

We can also supply switches and indicators for your control panel from trusted manufacturers like DCC Concepts and MERG. Contact us before purchasing your accessories, as we offer competitive pricing.
