Richlawn RR V2 - Converting to LED layout lighting

Many of you have been following the various threads here on MRH about using LEDs to light your layout.  I've become a believer of using LEDs after seeing Michael Rose's layout and seeing how great they look (to me) in person. ( http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/20664 ).

The Ultimate Narrow Gauge Railroad - 1894 Style

Boynton Bicycle Railroad

 

Eighty-one years ago this month, the first issue of Model Railroader was published.  Model Railroad Craftsman, less than a year old, was known simply as the Model Craftsman.  The Model Craftsman covered railroad topics as well as sailing and flying models. 

The suspense is killing me!

My First but hopefully not last model RR blog post. 

 

I'm modeling in N-Scale I have 2 layouts on the go. Well technically 1 on the go and one running around in my mind. 

The on the go layout is a tribute layout i kind of got talked into . I'm ok with that but for the delay it has put into my REAL layout. I am learning quite a bit though so in some ways it's great practice leaning some new things and trying to remember more than a few items from my distant past building a HO layout.

Visiting Michael Rose's Layout today

Today the Mrs & I visited Michaels home for two reasons:  1.) To have his award winning steak dinner; and 2.) To see his layout progress.  Notice the order of the two reasons!  After a visit of the layout (sorry, no pictures....I was distracted by thinking about the steaks) we headed to the house for a visit and dinner.
