Rope Lights! Under Layout Lighting

They're great! I started using rope lights over my hidden staging yard over two years ago. I'm fortunate in that I have enough room to stand up inside the staging yard (under a mountain) and the rope lights give enough light to see if I have to. I also cut a couple holes in the fascia and covered them with plexi glass so now I can see, from the aisle, what trains are inside if I lose track (rare). The plexi glass is also a big hit during our several times a year open house(s) because not only can the hidden staging tracks be seen but so can two different levels of the main line. They also come in handy during monthly operating sessions for road crews who like to see where their train is when pulling into staging. <br /> <br />Yep, rope lights are great! And, they're cheap!
