Hobo Tower Add-On Illumination

I didn't want to muddy my post above with some sour discussion, but I find it annoying that so many of the accessories, especially the structures are poorly illuminated. Worse yet, the leading companies who market this stuff are still using incandescent bulbs with a higher material cost than LEDs, and it hurts my wallet to replace the pricey bulbs!

So hey Lionel, MTH, Atlas, Bachmann, et al, start using LEDs!

great post

This is great!

I was getting ready to install my hobo tower and was annoyed that it was in darkness, as I was planning to put in in an otherwise poorly lit part of my layout.

Thanks for the great post, idea and diagram.

Hi Jim,

You have a very nice Model A. Thanks for the compliment. Attached are some pictures of my Model A cars. Both are of 1931 vintage. I hope to get the Victoria in paint this year.

Very nice, the Vicki is going to be a really nice piece.

It totally escapes me why these companies stick with incandescent lighting in so many things today.  I better sell my stock of incandescent bulbs before they become worthless!
