This is my first rtlToronto/train7 project (about two shows too late), an
underground train station. Since the new layout has a +20 brick ground
level, we have an underground layer (well, JeffVW and I do) which we can
build stuff underneath.
I think everyone had plans of building underground cutaways, mines, hidden
fortresses and the like. But the problem I found with this, even with a side
cutaway, is that it’s very dark. And I didn’t want to sacrifice Lego 9V
grain bulbs to run all weekend...so I asked Mario to help me with this
project. He wired up a total of 18 LEDs to light the station area. It’s non
Lego, but I wanted a really warm, diffuse, incandescent light.
We also got some LEDs over in a small transformer room.

Anyways, I hope you like it.

This is just gorgeous. Practical lighting is what LEGO displays are really
missing.
Who is this Mario guy, and how can I get some of those LEDs?

Sometimes you'll see him post in this NG or appear at an rtlToronto event. The LED's are literally garden (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
