I took a few pictures of the wiring progress.

One more point before I move on to the lightup photographs.  While I had the benchwork still open I pulled the wires I will need for the 8 - 10 structures that will built for the industrial area at the back of the Eagles Next Yard. I read somewhere that John Allen used to pull the wires for his layout expansions 10 years ahead so he wouldn't have to fish them through the benchwork.

I will be back in a little while with the light-up photographs.

Late this afternoon, I got everything wired for the interior lights of the locomotive works. I threw switch number one and we had light.

I will be painting the wires so they will not be visible when the roof is on the building.

Here are a couple quick - cell phone pictures - with the roof on the structure.  The LED's really light up the shop - just right to my eye. The interior details will all be visible.

You may notice a few more outside details since my last update photographs.

Hi John,

Did you solder the leads to the LED's or did you buy them that way. If so, where did you get them?
Your layout is coming along very nicely.

The leads were already on these LED's - I soldered them to the copper tape to complete the circuit. I bought all the supplies for this project from Slim at Microlumina. Check out his website at www.microlumina.com

The next step on this lighting project is to install the outside Goose Neck lights on the building and light poles in the yard.
