Do you still give the theatrical folks in the control area the ability turn the layout on and off?
Thanks! And yes the layout power is run through the lighting control board a the rear of the auditorium. Although we have a Legacy base installed, we only use it when we're there wanting to run some of our nicer trains on the layout. Otherwise it's all relatively low cost/donated conventional equipment running when we're not there to supervise. The whole thing is actually programmed into the pre-programmed lighting cues for our normal shows so it comes on automatically when they cycle through the lighting changes. The trains and village have their own circuits so they can be controlled separately. That way we can leave the village lights on but not have the noise of the trains when the MC is talking on stage as one example.
