Nick b Thank you for your comments.....I hope you can find a buyer for your brand new unused Grand Central Terminal priced to SELL. Good Luck Nick
John P Thank you!! You are right on target about "I got to have that" for the CUS. WE DO HAVE A LOT TO DO TO MAKE THIS AREA LOOK THE WAY IT IS INTENDED TO LOOK. THANKS AGAIN.
Larry, Thanks for those nice words!! Larry I can't wait to get all the buildings powered up. I think it will give the whole layout a different look. When we get more buildings lit up I will post more pictures. Thanks again
Brian Thank you for your nice comments!! I know Art has lots of GREAT THOUGHTS on details for his area.
Brian & Art, I was worried about the lights being too bright, however after seeing them today on the layout I think they will be OK. All of my lighting up to now are the MTH STYLE and the Grain of wheat style which of course look more incandesent(I like the warm white look also). I have a ton of the grain of wheat style with a shade to use on my Train Sheds. I thibk surrounding the CUS with that style will actually make the CUS LED's help to draw attention to the CUS. Now I am looking into a Parking Structure 10 feet away from the CUS so I think that will give some balance. The LED'S wOULD NOT BE TOO HARD TO CHANGE OUT IF REQUIRED.
Art, if the color is still an issue maybe I would fine some lite yellowish plastic or glass and locate it at the LED's to try and get some different color.
Art another thought is that if these things don't help maybe you remove one LED from each of the 3 in each strip.
Brian, Bridgeboss JIM's work of the Train Sheds does enhance my area. I do REALLY LIKE Passenger Trains. I also like my freight so Alan G's Oil Refinery supporting our Tank Train Cars will help to balance this area. The Grain Mill and silos and Coal Mine will also offer more balance for freight. Thanks again Brian for all your support.
Art I had to chase off some of those Refinery workers today as they had come over to Mel's Dinner to eat and then wanted to check out the CUS. I may have to hire some of Daley's Blue men & women
Art thanks for your support and comments.
Matt, Thank you very much. I need to give the credit to CSX AL and LEAVINGTRACKS AND CHUGMAN for their approaches to the Upper level Passenger Stations and lower level tracks. They all looked so GREAT that I wanted our layout to capture that "SPECIAL" look. Thanks again Matt
GTW RALPH Thank you for your nice words. Our layout will look a lot better when we get a chance to have you use your TALENT with the Camara.
Ben, Many thanks for your thoughts. Bridgeboss Jim did a GREAT job on the Train Sheds and TWD's Rodger and crew have done a WONDERFUL JOB ON THE CUS.
Alan G. HAS/IS creating some very nice items to enhance our layout. Can't wait to get more progress done. Thanks again Bem
Johnny, Thank you!!!! The lights do add some magic to the looks of the layout.
Alan, THANK YOU!!! Alan you are so right about Jim's Train Sheds adding so much to the realism. I also like the way the CUS is working with the Train Sheds. Mnay thanks Alan for your comments.
