Looking excellent Pete. I love how you've got the different sheds next to each other - it all looks so great, especially with the lighting. Many thanks 👍🚂
Hi Darryl buddy. Thank you for your nice comment. Yeah didn't have much choice with the space I had to work with. Not so keen on the hornby shed very flimsy and looks it should have glued all the attachments on, all you have to do is touch it and something falls off. Thanks for watching Darryl. Hope you're well mate. ....Pete....
Hello, Pete and Su! Great update... the buildings look great with the lights. I have used the same light strips in a couple places, but I have not toned them down. There are many tricks for dulling them from tape, to paint, to resistors, or even little bits of white plastic a few mm below to diffuse the light. Great to see it all! Cheers and all the best.
Hi Anthony and Joyce. Yeah gone the lazy way with putting paint on the leds. I'm not tech savvy like yourself so the easiest way for me. Thanks for watching guys, hope you're keeping well. ....Pete and Su....
Hi Mon. Thank you for your nice comment, hope you're well. Try new things, if it doesn't work will know next time. Thank you for watching. ....Pete and Su....
Hi Dirk. Thank you for your nice comment. Yeah with you there, got lights in all my buildings but maybe to many on one bus line, going to introduce another 12v source. Add the little people as well brings the layout to life. Thanks for watching Dirk. ....Pete and Su....
Pete, your apron is lovely 😂 that’s is looking fabulous the lighting in your sheds are super. Very clever idea with the cardboard you fitted it brilliantly. The whole area is looking great. My regards to Su
Hi Maura. Thank you for your lovely comment. When you said the apron was lovely did you have a big smile on your face. 😁 Thought I'd try something different with the cardboard, I know you can but ready made bases but like to scratch build them Lights are ok at the moment but got to much on one bus wire. Going to do another bus if I do more Lights. Thank you for watching Maura. Hope you're well. Su says Hi.👋 ....Pete and Su....
Hi Mark. Thank you buddy. Yeah still not finished yet. You know what we are like in this hobby keep changing things ay. Thanks for watching Mark. .... Pete and Su....
Yeah I know what you mean Pete. Yeah I think that virtually all of us change things at some point or another. I have been contemplating another change to my layout 😯😯 But more on that in the future.... Mark.
Hi Paco. Thanks buddy for your nice comment. Yeah get to my age no more work, so second childhood time. 😁 Thanks for watching Paco. ....Pete and Su....
Hello Pete, I hope you and Su are both well, Brilliant work on the engine shed area and the turntable works so well, great job adding lights. Take care buddy Deano
Hi Deano, Hannah and Millie. Thank you for your nice comment Deano. Got to wire up another 12v supply to much on that one bus wire. Thanks for watching buddy. ....Pete and Su....
Hi Stuart. Thank you for your nice comment. High praise coming from you with your skills, much appreciated Stuart. Yeah makes all the difference with lights and little people, yet to be added. Wasn't sure about the Hornby turntable, so many bad reviews on them. Didn't want to cut a hole in the baseboards so didn't have much choice. Happy with though. Thanks for watching Stuart. All the best. .... Pete and Su....
Hi Lyndon. Thank you for your nice comment. Yeah used those lights in all my buildings, wish I got the ones where you can cut individual leds though, not just in sections of 3. Thanks for watching Lyndon. .... Pete and Su....
Great work Pete. I'm in the process of working out where to have my town/village scene. Hope you and Su are keeping well and you weren't affected to much by the storm. All the best, Jon and Hollie.
Hi Jon and Hollie. Thank you for your nice comment. I liked doing the town bit, I used wet and dry for the road ways. First time I used card for a base, not as good that the experts do. Wind not to bad here in Peterborough, hope you didn't suffer any damage. Thanks for watching. ....Pete and Su....
@@collinsngauge5493 Hi Colin. Thank you for your nice comment buddy. Yeah just trying different ways of doing things. Please with the turntable heard so many bad reviews on them, can't fault my one at the moment fingers crossed 🤞 Not as realistic and good as the Peco one, but will do me. Thanks for watching Colin. ....Pete and Su....
Looking really geed Pete, the whole area is coming together really well. I like the LED strips - I’m thinking they could be useful to illuminate my helix! Take care, Andy 👍👍
Hi Andy. Thank you for your nice comment. Yeah they are quite good, wish I'd got the ones where you could just have 1 or 2 leds. They would be just the thing for the helix, don't take up any room. Thanks for watching Andy. ....Pete....
Great job Pete on the engine shed and light also good to have more loco storage. I have found set track to be more stable than flexy. It's possible the piece you had got twisted somehow. The brightness of lighting is a very personal thing and always go with what you want, that way you are happy. Thats all that matters.
Hi John. Thank you for your lovely comment. Yeah storage was important as I haven't got any fiddle yards just sidings. When I talk to Deano he swears by set track, it certainly cured my problem. 😁 Don't like the buildings to bright, camera makes them brighter anyway. Agreed 100% with you it's what give you pleasure in this hobby. My modeling is nowhere near your talent, but I get a lot of pleasure doing my best. Thanks for watching John. ....Pete and Su....

To dim the lights either use a smaller voltage supply or add in some resistors. Experiment with the values of the resistors or voltage until you're happy with the brightness.

Hey Pete and Su, nice work on the sheds. What do you wire the LED lights to is it the main bus that powers the track of is it on another bus? Good to see I am not the only one making changes to our layouts. Take care
Hi Tony. Thank you for your nice comment. The power is from a bus line that comes from a variable voltage adapter I bought from Amazon. Thing is I have a lot of lightning on that bus, so will be doing another one, it's all controlled via a switch on the control board.

To reduce the light output, you could fit a resistor to the feed to the lights.

another tip i use 0.45 hand rail wire to the leds in the building as there much easyer to hide than thick wire
Hi Derek.
Yeah I 100% agree with you, but it was all I had to hand.
Thick wires do look a bit unsightly.

Hey Pete and Su, nice work on the sheds. What do you wire the LED lights to is it the main bus that powers the track of is it on another bus? Good to see I am not the only one making changes to our layouts. Take care

The power is from a bus line that comes from a variable voltage adapter I bought from Amazon. Thing is I have a lot of lightning on that bus, so will be doing another one, it's all controlled via a switch on the control board.

I used plasticard for one of my smaller sheds and Das clay for another. Just keep an eye on the card could sag with cold damp temperatures over time.

Yeah thought that with the card. Looks fine at the moment though.
Been using modelling putty for a few things, nice and easy to use. And not messy like filler.

@delphjunction1168 yeah putty should be good to work with loads of time to shaped it to what ever you need before it goes off.

use low voltage to dim them 3 volts dim 9 volts bright the sigle lefs are better as you can space them out more so not so bright all in one place
Hi Derek.
I have two droppers, one for signals and street lights set at 3v. But the strips don't like 9v.
Yes the 3 section ones are very limiting.
