All the responses are full of great ideas, however, it looks like one big important thing has not been discussed. Are you going to have enough light to be able to see what you are constructing on/in the layout. I have seen great lighting effects onj layouts, but when you have to get a troublelight to see to do anything but operate, it’s just not worth it.
VERY COOL! The only thing I don’t agree with is the dark color backgrounds. Maybe if they used lighter colors, such as trains.com
Same here. They work great for a 12’ x 12’ layout.
I use fluorescent lights for working on track; currently in the process of purchasing track lighting to hang for operation… best of both worlds in my humble opinion. Lots of light for working on layout and variable, positional light for when operating…
