Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

Mike WyattOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

1. Wired three Menards buildings to run on layout (transformer) power, instead of wall warts. I used: AC/DC to DC Buck Converter Step Down Modules 1.5 volt to 27 volt output. These things work great!! About $7 a piece, and you adjust the output to the 4.5 v DC needed by the Menards buildings.

"How To" write-up attached!!

Shipped 10 days from China. I have had 100% good service and 100% working units and LEDs from this outfit.

2. Weathered the Menard's Hobby Shop building using pastels.

3. Had time to run trains!!

All in all a great day!
