Beautiful build Tom!   You nailed the color of the dock!

Leo,

Great to see you my old friend. I hope you and Laurie are doing well. I speak to Dave Barron on a regular basis. He is working hard to get his layout ready for the NMRA here in July of 2017 as I am.

Thank you for the kind compliment on the build and dock. I appreciate it.

Glad to see you back LHC.....how's the progress on your layout doing? 

Butty Greg,

I'm back and in good shape. The layout is progressing only as fast I can get Delwin's finished.

Tom, couldn't you 'dull down' the light for over the door somehow with paint, or do you think it would look odd with different 'strengths' of bulbs?


Jeff

Jeff, I was thinking in terms of to many lights vs the amount of brightness. However, I think the different strengths of the LED and color, bright and warm, would look very good.

I'll have to rethink the office door. Keep in mind there are about 22 additional LEDs that go into the kit. Ref. the to much light(lights).

Well, installing LED lighst in a structure sure takes time. I've been on one most of the day now.

Today I've installed three LED lights in the net storage and office. In preparation of the lighting, I cut a wire access hole in the dock.



The office will hide the hole.



More in a few.

LEDs were installed in two shades and glued to the net storage support structure.



I forgot to paint the shades so I had to do it carefully do it in place. No paint was used on the wood structure in this post.





More in a few.

[ACL1504]

All wires will be soldered for lighting and hidden in the office.



The wiring for this set of lights is now complete.



More in a few.

[ACL1504]

For now and until all lighting sections are complete, the wires for this section are hanging out the bottom of the dock. When all the lighting is consolidated, they will be routed under the dock and up through the main structure.

Following your thread is quality time Tom . thanks for sharing.

Tom, it is coming together quite good. Are you going to put sone "shadow" details in the interior of the building?
