Gary love the ligting. I can see that the lights are surface mounted and was wondering if you had to tear out the sheetrock to run your wiring. I'd like new lights but don't want to tear up the ceiling.:nope:

:wave:EZ how do you go about hooking the lights to a power pack so you can control brightness? I was thinking about some type of dimmer switch or ??. My knowledge of electronics is limited so I need some non-complicated manner of how to control brighness of the street lights on our layout...

Mentor could you tell me what dimensions of your table are that the turntable and roundhouse are placed on? I have a diamond 135' turntable that needs installation and am thinking about an extension to my present layout.

db....thanks for your reply. The water tower that we have come with a bulb that blinks. It blinks like it should but it causes all of the other lights to blink also.:confused: I have hooked the water tower to a seperate controller but it seems like a waste to have only one thing connected to...

Cid thanks again for your reply. I have three connectors ganged together as per Atlas instructions and I have hooked the tower light to each of the contacts and it doesn't make any difference if it is connected to the first, connector or any of the other two. Guess I will hook the tower to its...

Ralph....Could you post a couple of pictures of your track lighting? I am trying to come up with something better my trainroom lighting.

Congratulations and thanks for your willingness to help others.

Cid....all of the lights blink when the tower light blinks. There is surely some simple correction to the problem but I have no idea. Thanks

OK:confused: Here is another question. I finished hooking up lights in some of houses on the layout. I have several Atlas Connectors which I connected together to a couple of small tyco power packs. Lights are wired individually, i.e., three to one connector. All lights were working fine...

Loren...... thanks for the information. I have a couple of those packs so will try them.:thumb:

Another question:confused: I have several lights to hookup to my layout and I am tired of burning them out so need some help. Some of the lights are 30 MA, 14 Volts, some 0,05 A, 16Volts, some have no markings other than to say they are for HO structures. I also have 12 Grain of Wheat bulbs...

Loren, I am about done with the layout except for the connecting bridge between the tables and for some wiring. I ended up with two tracks as you can see and I am still planning so to how to install the turntable. My two grandsons are now able to run two trains. We have two controllers. One of...

Nomad thanks for sharing with us. Can't wait to see your progress on the changes you plan. I am still plugging along with our layout and things are about 75% complete. I am also still pondering location of the turntable and I purchased a 3-stall roundhouse kit. I'll probaby have to extend...

I have been reading the above information on the turntable subject and am glad that it was brought up.:thumb: I purchased a TT at an estate sale for a price that was too good to pass up but as of yet I have not ventured to install it. I have ordered a roundhouse....may have to add some room to...

:oops: Can't believe that I did not reply sooner to the suggestions on my turntable installation. I have ordered a three stall roundhouse. Since I am still working on other aspects of our layout I have left an open space to try to fit the table and roundhouse. I appreciate your suggestions...

Has anyone here ever used crushed landscape lava rock (I have red and black) on their layout? Would like to make use of it if I could.
