Quote from: Ensign on April 09, 2026, 12:15:47 PMHi Tom, I have used a diagram from my Horwoods kit to show you how I think you could work with 2 LED distribution boards instead of just one.
You can easily daisy chain the 2 distribution boards together and still only use the one power supply to power both.
The conecting wires for the distribution boards can be run under your layout/structures.
All of the other magnet wires for the LED's can be run internally within each structure.
Also give you more space on the boards to add more LED's to light up the interiors if you choose to do so.
So the red lines shown on the diagram indicate interior walls that I added to my Horwoods, and the green boxes represent the LED distribution boards.
The distribution boards will be hidden behind the added interior walls, and easier to hook up from above when the time comes to do that part.
I will be more than happy to answer any other questions that you might have in building this wonderful kit.

The trim work is exceptional.  Good luck with the power board location. I'd be looking to locate it behind a faux wall on the back of the structure.

Have fun,
mike

Nice work!

Seeing as you plan to put the light board between the 2 buildings, I'm assuming you have another solution besides the alley.

James,

Thank you. Your comments reminded me of some of my work years as well. As the Special Operations Commander assigned to the Orlando International Airport, I wore many hats. One of the things the Captain asked me to do was to respond in writing, for the Mayor's signature, complaints that came in on officers.

These officers didn't work for me but I was tasked with writing the response. I asked the Captain, "Why am I handling this complaint and not the officer's Lieutenant?" His response, "The Mayor likes the way you answer and address the compliant."

So, if you are good at your job, you get to fix the bugs/complaints others don't seem to be able to.

Tom
