Lookin good Norm. I’m not big on detailing inside buildings unless it can be seen. With the roll up doors and the large windows in the machine shop. This will certainly be seen. You can spend a small fortune on all the little details and machines inside the shop. It’s all worth it though. It’s the detailing like this that sets your layout at the top of the bar.

 Can’t wait to see it finished and on the layout.

Thanks Dave! I'm sure you know but I've always been inspired by your layout efforts! I have been getting into lighting and interiors on certain buildings if I feel it will add something interesting. With these small LEDs and cheap adjustable power supplies being so readily available, the lighting effects can be scaled correctly. I always hated seeing a nice building on a layout lit by the equivalent of a 5000W 12" long light bulb! 

I am still trying to figure out how to make nice outdoor lamps. The 1/16" tubing I use for these hanging fixtures are 3" scale conduits! Not so noticeable for this kind of setup but would look too awkward on an outdoor fixture. I am hunting for thinner tubing and I think I may have found some from McMaster Carr.
