Hi,

Long story short...... I'm putting in ground cover for my 1950s era loco facilities (steam & diesel) and managed to break one of the dummy double light poles (from an old Heljan kit).  It's pretty delicate but I've managed to repair it.

But it got me thinking....... engine facilities were usually a "24/7" operation and there must have been some serious lighting structures around.  So to repeat my title question, what do you use (real or dummy) to denote lighting?

 

ENJOY  !
