    Hello all. Been collecting N scale off and on for a couple of decades. Recently been re-habbing my coffee table layout which has suffered from several moves, young children and general neglect since I first built it a little over 20 years ago.

    Getting back in after a 13 year hiatus things have changed for the better in some regards and specifically lighting... loving these pico and nano LEDs. Two months ago my layout had only three lit building all using the GOW lamps but with these LEDs and DCC lighting boards I went a little nuts and installed over 50 lights on my layout along with a lighted texaco sign. I'm just about done with the table where I've added some new structures in addition to lighting and just started digging into converting my older locos to DCC/Sound.

    Next up for me is a combined N/Z corner/wall layout which I've been collecting pieces for over the years so all I really need to get started is clear out some space in the basement.

    Here's a little peek at my table with the updated lighting:

    Thanks all for the warm welcome. Those signals are some of the best I've ever seen for n-scale. In case anyone is wondering they came as PE kit from showcase miniatures, tri-color LED's (ebay) and IR signal animators from https://www.logicrailtech.com/.
