I wouldn't recommend using those, however; they are a costly $5 each, and I believe that they can be obtained online for about half that price (...) (21 years ago, 12-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| John, Great looking subway station! Sorry if I missed it, but what LED's did you use? Did you stay with a 9V system, or how techy was the electrical system made? I tried finding some stuff a while back to do an internal lighting scene, and couldn't (...) (21 years ago, 12-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)
