This book describes the concepts behind lighting model railroad buildings, cars, towers, bridges and other scenes on a model railroad or diorama using LEDs. In the contents are practical examples for using LEDs. It describes a simple approach to achieving a high-density, low-cost method for lighting your model railroad using a dimming controller. The text addresses the use of both custom LEDs and commercially available pre-lit buildings. The test includes actual test data taken by the author to prove the concept is safe and reliable.
