Oh those are supposed to be super nice
I installed some new LED lights today so I thought it would be the time to take some overall views of the layout. These may give you all a better idea of how it is laid out. [attachment=39115][attachment=39116][attachment=39117][attachment=39118][attachment=39119][attachment=39120][attachment=39121][attachment=39122][attachment=39123][attachment=39124][attachment=39125][attachment=39126]
Love that 4-track main! Makes me jealous for space!
That's even more of those lights than I have! I can't put them in the layout room without a major change of all the light fixtures.
Charlie, I have been buying those lights to replace my current lighting too, they really work great!

ALSO, WOW!! Icon_e_surprised , I am so impressed with your layout   Applause Applause , your really doing a Fantastic job on it Applause Icon_e_biggrin . 
I sure wish I had that much room, too, I am so jealous Icon_e_biggrin .
Great looking layout!
Geez Charlie...those aerial views had me to starting to think that Barney Secord was at work, but since I didn't notice any empty bottles laying on the layout, I gotta give you full credit for the layout photos.  Nicely presented. Worship Worship Worship

OMG, that layout looks larger than my house. Beautifully executed, great photos. Worship Worship Worship Worship
There is a lot of clutter to find storge space for. It is getting hard to run trains. I plan to build wooden foamed line boxes to store the locomotives and the boxes will be long enough to store steam locomotives with the tenders attached. I don't think removing the plugs constantly is a good idea and I have found that a sliver cut from 12 guage wire insulation will slip over the tender pin to keep the drawbar in place.  
   I am currently soaking some locomotives in super clean to remove the paint so they can be "rosterized"

Charlie,

Applause But admit, you have purchased these LEDs from GERN; 3% more brightness. Goldth

Very nice!
I have a few more photos that I want to post here just so they are on the web.  Icon_e_biggrin [attachment=39879][attachment=39880][attachment=39881][attachment=39882][attachment=39883][attachment=39884]Charlie
