Honestly, I replaced all of the 2x4 fluorescent fixtures in my train room and the difference is incredible and I would never go back. The room is so much brighter, the lights won't cause fading as they do not emit ultraviolet rays, and I don't have to screw around with bad bulbs or starters. I am sure the fixtures will wear out over time, but they are so much better than the old ones. After my positive experience with the train room, I swapped out all of the incandescent bulbs in the house with the LED bulbs and couldn't be happier.
Here is a look at the train room before swapping fixtures
Notice how the room has a yellowish look to it.
Here is the same wall after going to LED fixtures.
It is like night and day in the room.
As for the trains, well they are prewar, so I am not converting any of those to LED.
