Searching my files for photos, but we have four MTH yard lights in our through yard. They look nice, but realistically, they're more for decoration than light output. If you can get LED bulbs to replace the incandescent ones, they'd probably throw a lot more light. One of these days we'll get around to changing to LEDs.
Spence did you buy the Lionel lights as 16 or did you combined 2 eight light kits to make one?
Yup,I did notice them,they were nice
For me they all seem out of scale. I'm going to make my own. Don
Here is a pic of my yard with the Lionel 6-12759 tower lights and you will notice all my switches have a double headed Lionel 6-12927 #65 Yard light. It works pretty well. My table with overhead lights out looks like a night time scene, not bright, but workable.
I use a combination of Lionel 395 flood light towers and those Mars two bulb flood towers - the ones that always seem to show up at the train shows.

I like this style Marx Towers.
Well thanks for all the ideas so far. Sure don't want to make them but so far I am thinking like scale rail.

Hello Clem,around my engine house which has several tracks and sidings I used the Lionel 6-37995 Lighted Telephone Poles.
With these poles spaced out they lighted this area very realistically.
To me the light from each pole is just enough to light an area without being to much light.
They don't take much power to operate either.

Thank you Mark
I bought those this summer but they are too short, my yard tracks are too close together. I hope to use them at my power plant or industrial area. I think they look good.
