Hi John, How are you lighting the subway. And then on the next couple videos it your layout at "night". What kind of lights are you using to light the building interiors? Very nice BTW! SteveB (12 years ago, 9-Feb-12, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)

(...) Yeah, I have vague recollections of trolleys crashing down onto our PennLUG layout at that show. And it was a lot of fun. Maybe we can do it again some day. Lately the only trolleys crashing on our layout have been our own. Cale (12 years ago, 30-Jan-12, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)

(...) Thanks, Cale. Oh man, you remember that??!! Yeah, touch sensors aren't the way to go with that set-up. We did it that way because we couldn't fit the backside of the layout in the car! That was a good show; we had a great time. JOHN (12 years ago, 29-Jan-12, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)
