Mounting control boards. | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Looking for ideas on mounting new boards in engines. I need to mount two boards in a diesel. The boards fit back to back to each other flipped up on their sides. I tried double sided tape but it doesn’t hold very well. Interested in seeing other ideas. I would even consider pre wiring and then mounting in shell.

Some of the better electrical tapes, Scotch 33+ and 88 provide good insulation for a small tight fit. Rich Yoder 44 Tonner was a project. I had to remove a couple of Capacitors, from one of the boards, and mount them in a different area.

Double sticky back tape seems to work.

Older boards in a very small Weaver A5 tender.
