Wonderful presentation and way to explore the layout. I was wondering what do you use for lighting in the station it is very effective.

@phil1102

HI THERE,MANY THANKSFOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS. THE LIGHTING IN THE MAIN TERMINUS STATION USES A RECENT INOVATION IN WHITE SURFACE MOUNT (SM) LEDS. EACH LED MEASURES ABOUT 2MM LONG BY 1 MM WIDE . WIRES NO THICKER THAN A HUMAN HAIR WHERE SOLDERED ONTO EACH LED USING A 15 W ANTEX SOLDEING IRON WITH A 3MM BIT FITTED ...OH AND A BLOOMIN THICK PAIR OF READING GLASSES SO I COULD SEE WHAT I WAS SOLDERING !!!!.

THE RESULT,AS YOU SAY IS VERY EFECTIVE ,THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS ROUGHLY SCALE CORRECT!

hello. am wanting to be able to get drivers eye view of my layout for exhibitions and am wondering what you used to get that on here?

@rockmad100 there is a ready made gadget you can get called a micro cam wireless train cam. it uses the track power (dcc or standard) with a rechargeable backup when stationary. the picture and sound are then transmitted to a receiver of which you plug into your tv or monitor. the down side is that its a tadge expensive at £100+ . i have seen them on ebay for less. i used a similar gadget £30 from ebay and took the casing off and used a pair of 12 volt 1/2 aaa bateries as the power supply
