The lights are an amazing transformation! Personally, I preferred the dimmer light for a refinery, it gave a wonderfully dingy appearance like you'd expect to see in an industrial area, but hey, your layout, your rules! Anywho, it still looks awesome, great job!
What's great about the Light Hubs is the ability to dim them to preference. I will still adjust them I'm sure, at least the warm lights (yellow). 24v was for sure the way to go for me.
Great ideas for lighting. I like how you expanded the use on the Woodland Scenics light hubs to incorporate more lights. I like the light hubs a lot but they are expensive especially when you use a lot of lights. Thanks for the information.
One of my favorite parts of a layout, lights. I use the Woodland Scenics lighting system, hubs, street lights, etc... and love it. Never tried another brand and probably never will as I have a very small layout. Have them uninstalled at the time while working on layout. But when installed, sometimes I just turn on the light's ONLY, and it looks awesome! Expensive but worth every penny to me. Your layout and lights look amazing, great job!
Congrats on a great finish to a project! Lighting my layout was such fun, this brought bake good memories of a ‘let there be light’ moment! The 24V power supply is an excellent nota bene thank you for mentioning!!
Hi Nscaler454 , I was wondering when you were going to give us an update. The lights look great. I agree with you the 24 volt is better than the 12 volt. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week. 😎😎 👍
I’m curious about the adapter? What brand is it and where can I obtain it or from whom? I really like Your results with the 24 volt power supply! Nice job 👍 and thanks 🙏 for sharing your experience and your experience ❤!!!
I got the adapter off Amazon, it came with the switches. Since I'm in Canada it's a little different than the American links I posted in the description.
@@nscaler454I appreciate you taking the time to respond and responding with more detail. Thank you Again. As I speak, I am showing your video to my friend so that he can be amazed as well.
The lights that you installed in the grain unloading pole barn, are they tied into this system as well? If not, how did you power them? Did you use any of the resistors? I purchased those lights as well. That kit from you turned out wonderful!!
The same lights I use in the pole barn are used on the walthers oil refinery, the truck loading facility, and the oil loading platform seen in this video. No resistors used, I just plugged them into the Light Hub. Very happy to hear it turned out for you.
So, you are running 12 volt lights with a 24 volt power supply. Having worked with 12 volt DC systems for years, I would have used a larger gauge wire, that would lessen voltage drop, rather than burning out my lighting prematurely.
How are those lights handling that much voltage? Typically the LEDs I get off of eBay are around 14 volts. Running more than that will fry them in short order. Looks awesome though.
@@nscaler454 That's actually good to hear. I'd prefer to be able to use a more powerful power supply and run several of the Hubs vs having to run more power supplies to run more hubs. Nice. Beautiful layout brother. Keep up the great work!!!
@@devintoner4409 It's more power running through them then what they are design for. Most LEDs run around 3 volts so we put a resistor on them . a 1500 ohm resistor would be need if your using 24 volt power supply
Its hard to say anything in model railroading is a very good value. $250+ for locomotives that may or may not work. 50 freight cars will likely cost you over $1200. A large layout will cost thousands in track alone.
Love the contrasting light - warm and cool, yellow and white.
Really awesome lighting...makes your scene really pop! Nice work

Costs can add up quickly. So we need to find ways to save a buck here and there.
Фантастически! Обожаю диорамы с подсветкой)
Had a friend who lite the backdrop buildings with leds, too. Carries the scene into the distance.

Thanks. Lights really are a fun project
Great Job! Lighting always makes the scene.
damn… i almost forgot about this side of the layout 😂. looks great with the lights! 👌
The lighting looks amazing. Great work!
Looks awesome, great job, really nice detailed layout 👍
Fantastic Nscaler! What a transformation to your layout. Now I will have to light up my layout as well😊
It's worth doing!
Great detailed layout. Nice work and thank you for your informative video! 🎉🎉🎉
Awesome layout and video
Looks good, nice wiring job
Hi Nscaler454 & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Nscaler454 & Friends Randy
That looks great. I really want to light up my layout now
do it!
Very nice, thanks for sharing. Dave
Purdy! Good job!
Cool 😎 thanks for sharing
Really looks Great 😃

Really nice!
Wow that looks amazing!
Looks awesome
Very cool....
What lights are these! I need a bunch for my locomotive servicing facility. These ate perfect

I tested these same lights directly connected to a 9v battery and it fried immediately. Something with the Light Hubs tames it down.

Woodland Scenics lighting system is based on 24 volts, get ready to replace them LEDs
It's possible. Fortunately I don't intend to run the lights all that often.
I’m new too all of this, so please excuse my ignorance. Why would 24 volts mean a lot of LED replacements?

Hmm... Seems like quite the fortune spent just to light up a few LED lights ...this takes the wind right out of the sails!!
