Crocodile Train Store posted:I would like to weigh in on this subject because I am in the middle of adding the Just Plug System to my store layout that has every building and vehicle that they have made to date, and I am having a blast doing it. It seems a shame to lose the advantages of the Just Plug system.
I usually stay out of advertising in the middle of a thread, but I see that I might be of assistance here. I am selling the light hubs for $10.43 instead of the list price of $16.99 in order to make full use of the system more affordable for members. So for about $10 bucks you can control 4 buildings, and save time wiring them, and get dimming and switching if you want. Or substitute a sequencing hub for about 5 bucks more.
I really love using the system just as it was designed with Plugs ready to go and a sensible modular architecture.
I am generally thrifty and do spend on something that I don't thing is worth it, nor would I recommend something I dont buy for myself.
It is nice to have switch control over the buildings and now with the sequencer I plan to keep the first floor of the buildings a in a constant on state and add individual lights to the second floor that will come on as if someone is moving through the building.
I have inserted a picture of a section I did. I just noticed another advantage of using the control box. I noticed that the photo was washing out the bright lights of most of the cars, so as a demonstration I dimmed the chevy wagon light which is the 5th from the left.
By the way the Police Cars are really fun. On my trailer park attached to a farm I am having the police bust a bunch of bootleggers loading moonshine into one of the Woodland Scenics stake body trucks. The bubble gum machine on top flashes.
I will post it when done.
I am wiring the Woodland Scenics Feedmill today. Cant wait to see it done.

Mike, I think your buildings and lights in your little town look great. Arnold
