Hi everybody,
small update and a accident. Must be the heat, to much gin and tonic.  >:D
Fitted some more locos with magnets for the signalling and then.
See for yourself.

Oh Nooooooo  :o

Then I have been busy with my Led room lighting.
I have finally bought all the Led strips that I need as well as the pipe
to use.
Cut the pipe to length and then into five more or less equal strips.
Reflective tape inside and then a double row of Led's.
First one up, three more to go.
Working through a dimmer on 12V so that I can later incorporate this in my control panel.

Nice, I like the LED's, but is the lighting OK? I found that LED's does not give the same visibility as normal lights.

Yes the light is quite different, these are cool white while the down lighters, also Led's are warm white.
I am sure that once I have all four strips up the light will be strong enough.
Time will tell.

Both staging yards illuminated as well as the
Led strips on the ceiling.
These are dimmed down in the photo.

I have this week also completed all four Led ceiling light and mounted them.
On full power its a lot of light and then as these are dimmable I can set the lights
very soft.

Aloha,
small update. :)
I needed a fence, so I built a jig to drill and cut some tooth picks.
Black arrows point to the two holes to be drilled with a 0.5mm drill bit through the tooth pick.
The red arrow is the cut off line.
