Hey Members, I've been fantasizing about what my layout will look like with my trains parked for service inside of my roundhouse which of course is connected to a turntable.  I'm about to start ordering my rolling stock very soon and I have my steam engines (6) on my carpet central layout.  I'm mentally projecting my layouts appearance with my steam locomotives in their stalls, my diesel locomotives also and a collection of both types parked for service together.  If anyone has any pictures of their steam or diesels at their roundhouses, I sure would appreciate some photos for future reference and ideas.  Thanks as always, MARSHELANGELO

Ogre Modeling is offering Hanging LED pan lighting for use in roundhouses similar to those posted.  Depending on length of the "hang" we offer two: one that is between 2 1/2 -3 inches that is bendable, and one the does not bend but is only 1/2 inch in length.  With the bridge rectifier assembly which is included, you connect 4 such lamp assemblies, and operate at 6-19 volts ac/dc.  For close-ups, check out ogremodeling,llc on the forum.

 

These are not Ogre lights that are pictured, but if you check out Mercer Junction posts, Dave has installed Ogre Lighting in his Roundhouse and steel mill facility.  If interested go to the landing page and contact me  Ogremodeling.com

John we put 80 lights inside the RH including the 4 that are outside. I don't think OGRE had released their kits when we started this project. We used 3mm flat top, wide angle LED's, inside if Plastruct lamp shades.

 

I did a "How To" on our RH lighting HERE   

 

I have been looking for some LED lighting in form of yard lights, or lamp post that would work around the engine facility. There just doesn't seem to be anything out there except for the OGRE kits. I want something that I can attach to wood poles like you would find back in the 40's and 50's, but not a "street" light.

Back to the OP from MARSHELANGELO:

 

We don't really mix steam and diesel in and around the RH, only because we have a separate building for the diesels. The diesel building will hold 7 engines in and outside of the building. The RH will hold 7 inside (we can put articulated engines in every stall) and there is 8 storage tracks outside the RH, 4 on each side.
