Not having a layout yet, that leaves me a lot of time to think of different techniques I will probably use on my future layout. One of these is the lighting effects. I plan on modeling all time of days, mind you, I'm not a prototypical gal, so if I want to run train during sunrise time all day long, that's my choice, I just want to have fun. <br /> <br />What I've thought of doing is tu use different colors of incandecent lights, white, red(or orange) and blue, in the right proportion, with dimmers. That way, I could give the layout the reddish illumination of sunrise/sunset, and the bluish lighting of the night. If the room's lighting is off, then the bluish lighting should tone down all bright colors and give the white and black impression of a night sky. I'm also tempted in making a backdrop lighted in the back, with tinny holes, it could give the feel of shining stars in the sky.
