I am wanting to install lights with shades to be mounted in the ceiling of a passenger train platform area that runs under the train station(GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL). I want a ceiling light w/shade to place in the ceiling between tracks.  This will be OGauge.  I have not been able to find a source for shades to date.  Can someone point me to a source and/or any ideals on how to make my own??   I have found gooseneck for walls, but I want to come down from a ceiling.  I thought about LED strip lights, but prefer a light(led) in a shade.     Thank you.

Hey Pete, are those lamp shades or just some kind of washers? The look great and I have a 100 or so LED's.

Just some kind of washers.  As I said, it was all just stuff from my junk box. I am not sure, but I think that they were extra washers from the installation kit that came with an under-counter toaster oven (or maybe a can opener). I never throw stuff like that out. I have a big box labeled "random plastic bits". At this point, I can usually find a reasonable approximation of most any shape I need.  Most of that stuff on the floor of the engine house came from the same box.

Great to know, I never throw anything out either!
