Marty W,
Thanks for the suggestion, have not tried controlling the brightness of the post war station platform. The info on the bottom says to use 6 - 8 volt bulbs but the closest I could get from the local Batteries Plus Bulbs store was 4.9 volts. The two bulbs are wired in series so the 11 volts I am supplying is overdriving them a bit.
Do you, others, have experience with the two new illuminated station platforms I bought? My guess is even if I were to turn off the post war station's illumination the new ones would appear rather dim.
