What is the element that you use for the roof of the structure in this
picture? I don’t recognize it.

It’s a big Belville or Scala plate, I think.

Thanks to Eric for the compliments. Some comments:
This is a pic of the TCLTC’s subway. First, some credit where it is due. I
first saw LEDs used in the GMLTC subway by John Gerlach and liked them a lot,
but struggled with the non-purity idea, but the fact is that even 50 LEGO lights
didn’t do the trick, and so I acquiesced and let Ross have at it. He did all of
the wiring and soldering. The only brick mutilation that occured (Lar;-) is
that I had to drill a hole into the basebricks for the wires to reach the
lights. I actually built the subway itself; you can see some of the stages of
building in that folder. Mike: the roof consists of 2 Scala baseplates
(basebricks I should say). I bound them together pretty well and they lift
out as one piece to allow access to inside the subway. Finally, credit for the
pic itself goes to my daughter, Natalie. She stuck our digital camera inside
the subway and got that shot. I never would have thought of that, and as Eric
noted, it turned out pretty cool!
Ross and I have been very productive this past month building the layout; I am
hoping to finish up a few things and take a lot of pics that I’m thinking will
blow folks away!

| 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)
