Graff Airbrush artist May 10, 2020 #144 I installed lights in more of the buildings and connected them on the layout. Now I'll have to see what else needs lights.

Graff Airbrush artist May 12, 2020 #146 I installed the new lights over my layout today. I use 6 W LED bulbs with 2 feet gaps in between them. It's a LOT brighter now!

flyboy2610 Loveably weird May 12, 2020 #147 I installed LED lights above the east and west sides of my layout. Like you, I found they made a BIG difference!

Graff Airbrush artist May 12, 2020 #148 The benefit of these bulbs is the high CRI rating of 90%. It really brings out the colors.
Graff Airbrush artist May 15, 2020 #152 I made some utility poles today. It's an Auhagen kit. I installed them temporary on the layout. I will add E-Z line later.

Graff Airbrush artist May 16, 2020 #154 Thanks! I made a retaining wall out of Depron foam that I scribed with a pencil before painting it with gesso and some paint. I glued it in place with hot glue. I surrounded it with my homemade Sculptamold.

Graff Airbrush artist May 19, 2020 #159 I made a bridge for the road to the tunnel. 3D printed sides and cardboard/wood subframe. I've just graveled the road, so the bridge is a little wet ... Sylvan car I also built recently.

Graff Airbrush artist May 20, 2020 #160 Had some time to spare today. I've painted part of the fascia, it looks so much better in black. Done a bit more rockwork as well. I use ordinary plaster in aluminum foil. Then I found an oil pump on Thingiverse that I printed on my resin printer last night. I'll see if it can be motorized. There's a lot more to do on the layout.
