Thanks for the detail and products. I was scouring home depot for drop ceiling products and found only metal stuff. Then I remembered your layout and I think I might just have to try that TrimTex.

Tom,
Wow, a year is a long time to wait. Hope they return it to you soon. My progress is pretty much just what you see here on the blog. I wish I were further along or had more to show you. At least I am making steady progress. I may take you up on the visit offer once I have something worth viewing. Perhaps you can join me when my first train rolls under its own power. That will be a very special day indeed.

Hi Alan, I live near You, grew up in Atlas it was good of you to comment on my posting about using cork on foam. I send my bench work to a company in Indiana to lay track, install the turntable and wire the DCC turnouts. that was a year ago Sept. I am at a stand still waiting for its return. I started a shelf extension just to keep me interested in the hobby. I am always like talking and see others layouts. maybe we can get together, I’d like to see your progress.

Yup, plain ole aluminum foil for this test. When finished there will be reflectors made from plastic nursery flower pots cut into quarters and painted white.

Wow I didn’t realize that so much color variation could occur between CFL’s and LED’s. Color looks great when mixed. Acrylic panels look cool too. Is that just aluminum foil deflecting the light?

That is top notch. I’d considered acrylic diffusor panels before, but never thought about custom cutting them to fit the tracks, or even modifying the tracks to fit a custom curve. I didn’t know they sold vinyl tracks.

Great idea.

You know, I looked at that first picture, and I said, just how loud does he need to turn that phone ringer up to?
