Hi! So I'm one of the husbands of the guys that purchased this incredible display at the estate sale. I stumbled on this thread when researching how to wire it. I know seriously nothing about model railroading and everything I've learned thus far is through Becky, who is an invaluable resource and I'm seriouly in awe of her talent. These pics don't even do it justice. We have Sleeping Beauty Castle, Jungle Cruise, Tiki Room, Small World, Country Bear Jamboree, Autopia, Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, the Tomorrowland sign, pieces of Main street, New Orleans Square, and assorted other pieces. We recently, a year after the initial purchase, acquired more pieces from another buyer. Everything except Big Thunder Mountain is currently on display and lit up. I'm gonna try and get BTM lit up this weekend so I can share pics of this incredible display that I am seriously honored to own.

So I re-wired Big Thunder Mountain over the past weekend after we determined that someone had definitely hooked it up to something incorrectly and blown all of the bulbs. Becky was of course super helpful in sourcing the lights and advising on technique and it went super smoothly. But I defintitely bought the wrong temperarure of LEDs and they're way too cool for my liking. They stick out like a sore thumb when it's placed with the other ones. So I ordered the right ones and I'm gonna re-wire it again this weekend.

So here's a few pics of how we have it displayed. We live in a 2 bedroom apartment and converted the office into Beckyland. These pics really don't do it justice cause I'm not nearly as good of a photographer as Becky. The wires are hidden behind panels I made out of cardboard boxes and decoupaged ephemera that I kept from me and my husband's trips to Disneyland. The things on the wall are different Disneyland things I collected from trips and from estate sales.
