I finished working on another steel mill building. This one will be a slab mill. My ingot buggies will come in and slabs of steel will exit . I painted it a dark shade of gray instead of black, to make it look like it is further away from the others. Weathered with rust colored powder. If you notice the corrugated material doesn't go all the way to the end of the building. That's because another building will be in front, a hot rolling mill, next on the workbench.
Also did some painting of a lionel shed and switch tower. I didn't like the stock colors so I brought out the acrylics and went to work. Added windows and floors to it in hope that some day I will put an interior with a desk and pot belly stove. Also a tool rack in the lower floor.
I wired the tower for lights, using yellow bulbs instead of white for a more subtle look.
Then I spent an afternoon making a power supply distribution for the lighting on my layout. I took 3 buck converters and added terminal strips. Each unit is set to a different voltage, 3v,4.5v, for LEDS and 9v for bulbs.
Here they are under my layout. Power is from an old AT&T Uverse 12v battery supply and backup unit. 10 to 30 3 and 4.5v LEDS are in the mill buildings, scrounged from battery operated Christmas light sets.
