Great photos Joe, I really like the lights in the Osier depot. How long will your battery pack last? BTW Lowes (Home Depot clone out west) sells LED Edison bulbs that put out yellowish light and only use 4 watts apiece. Look cool and last 15,000 hours.

Joe, looks like all your crews hard work is paying off. Thanks again for your photos and reports on the friends work sessions.

John, the led bulbs use 4 watts. There are 4 downstairs and 2 upstairs in the depot. Led lighting has come a long way in the last couple years. The depot has a retro bulbs. They look like the old fashioned filament bulbs but are cool to the touch. The section house is also tied into the system. There are several bulbs in the section house but much more work to be done in there to have a light in every room. The section house needs rewiring in addition to installation of switches, sockets.

The lighting is secondary. The workmanship done by Ted and The Square Nail Gang is what to watch.
