Happy to share. You can get a miniature halogen light that can be lit by your power supply from Radio Shack. Mine is about as big as a miniature x mas tree light and Dr. Wayne is right, they DO get hot. Here is the module as part of the scene. We should put the camera right down on the layout...

Here is my plan. I've got an HO residential kit and a box of broken parts from other structures laying around. I'll be converting it all into a wood framed church or meeting house, I think. Let me get though Thanksgiving and I'll post a sketch and a couple pics. Thanks for heading this up...
