Thanks Lar.  Ya, I wish there was a better way (probably is, I just haven't
thought of it yet) to make it show less of the shadows.  I'm really
enthusiastic about this new idea.  Who knows, it could make its way into the
train scene too.

Would it be possible to fill the block with some sort of translucent something?
That way the lighting would more diffused, and light up more evenly.  Even
something like good old-fashioned white glue - that dries clear and the light
would show through.

Great stuff as always, Rob!

Genius?  Madness?  Both??  <grin>

(...) I'm already using hot glue which dries to a translucent white color. There's just not that much room inside a 1x2 tile to hide an LED. I'll experiment... Rob (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.space)
