@Markf posted:First post. Nice to be here, and thanks for letting me on your forum. I have my dad's old Lionel trains, plus a bunch of MTH. I'm half-way through a 10x16 Big City Skyscraper layout with double elevated subway loop and slot car highway underneath. I could use some guidance on how to light all the buildings. I suspect I went about this the wrong way, but the buildings are up and I'm hoping I can remove the smaller ones to wire 'em up and work on the big ones where they stand. Power is two ZWs (275w ea) and a KW (190w). Seems like that should be more than enough to run two engines plus 60-70 buildings. What kind of little LED bulbs should I be using, should I get the reels of LED strip lights, and is there a simple schematic that could spread out the electrical burden across the transformers so I don't burn the house down? And is there a simpler way to do all of this? I can't find any LED bulbs pre-wired with longer than an 8" lead. I appreciate any guidance you can give me.
AH...! A kindred spirit! Love the city Mark!
