Kit Building / Re: SS Ltd Drug Store Build
October 07, 2025, 12:16:46 PM
Gary, that came out looking wonderful!
I also have this kit waiting on my to build list, so it's nice to have this build to refer to when the time comes to finally build mine.

Wonderful looking kit! However $673.00 American converted into Canadian dollars is way to expensive for me.
It would be close to $1000.00 dollars Canadian after exchange.
Besides at this point in my life I have enough kits to build now, never mind adding another one.

Gregory & Craftsmankits, thanks so much for your kind words!

Craftsmankits, I wish I knew your real name at least your first name.
Adding lighting is a bit of a slippery slope, once you start you can't stop.
I now include lighting in all of my structures.
However It also adds a bit more time to one's build, but the end results are always worth it in the end.

Thanks! Rick & Jerry.

Dave, yes the magnet wires get soldered directly to the N8102 LED distribution board for $11.95.
I use them on all of my LED lighting projects.
This is indeed a Ngineering product that you can get from Tim Anderson at www.ngineering.com
You will also need the N3518 18 volt .825 Amp power supply that sells for $16.95 as well.

Curt, Tom & Dave, thanks so much for your very kind comments!

Tom, here is how the LED distribution board with the magnet wires hooked up to it looks under my freight house base.

Mayatic, I love all of these images, and would like to see more!
I would love to learn more on how you were able to produce them using this Gemini generated images.

Mark & Tom, I`m sorry for the late reply, just got home from a 2 week vacation at our cottage.
Thanks so much for your very kind words!
Tom, I have also built Delwin`s Net & Boat Storage kit & the Horwood`s Service Ctr.
I did build threads on both of those kits on the now defunct RRLines forum.
Both of those kits have lighting kits for them designed by Ngineering.
Dario`s instructions explain in great detail how to use the LED distribution boards and install all of the LED`s used.
So everything that you need to know is right in the instructions booklets for both kits.
My scenery work on this freight house is still drying, so I will be glad to flip it over on it`s side and photograph how my LED distribution board looks tomorrow for you.

I spent some of today finishing off the scenery work around this freight house.
Also adding the last little details to it, like the electrical power hook up and plumbing vent and ladder on the roof.
So here`s how it now looks in the completed stage.

Mark,I think I will be building another FSM`s kit, just not certain which one yet.

Thanks again to all members here that gave encouraging words along the way!

Hi Rich,

Thanks so much!
I'm also off to do some more 1:1 project up north for a couple of weeks this time.
It never seems to end, it's almost a curse to be handy!

Hi Dave & Jerry, thanks very much for your kind words!

Dave, lighting up a structure can be a little frustating at times, however the end results are worth the extra effort.

Hi again everyone, well I got the LED lighting all hooked up last night.
I'm still working on the final bits of scenery around the place.
However I thought that you would like to see how the Led's looked inside & outside of the freight house.
