It PROBABLY won't work, but then, what does work have to do with electric trains (of any gauge)? If you are wanting it to work, you are in the wrong forum to begin with!
OTOH, playing with trains is a personal thing and whatsoever your little pea-pickin' heart desires can be had, and even thought to be a REALITY, on your LAYOUT! Of course, when it comes to a CLUB LAYOUT, you have to keep in mind the sanity, or lack thereof, of the other members! GOOD DAY!!
                                                                                       THANX!!

          When one is looking for a tree, and a forest is seen, one must recognize that there are times that one tree cannot be seen in such a conglomeration, but it is there nonetheless! Hope this helps your vision!!

 :)GREETINGS!! I'm finally getting around to TRYING to do a complete inventory of my "stuff", and I've run into a problem! Well, actually THREE problems:
       1)How many different kinds of engines are there? (I've got over a hundred, but some are the same kind!)                     
       2)Is there a source where one can go to identify engines? (What is the difference in F3, F7, or F9?)                   
       3)How can one idenify a manufacturer if it's not marked?         
  That's all the questions that I've run into thus far, but if you can anticipate others, feel free to answer them!!
                                                                              THANX!!

Edmonton is closer to the North Pole than Montana is .

          Well, I guess that means it's not Kentucky!!

Yes, thank you, I realize that the post said, "Edmonton"... but, please pardon my stupidity, where is "Edmonton"? Colorado? Montana? New Jersey?                                                                     THANX!!

Would that I had a drop ceiling! Unfortunately it is a plaster ceiling with the only attic being a ceiling fan with a light hanging down in the middle.  I think since I have got a speaker wire in the corner I will put in low power lighting and figure some way to support them with a small rod or a piece of wood extending out from the wall.  THANX!!  Ernie

But, again and still, I would run into the problem of having a big (#10) wire coming out from the wall to power this "thing" that must needs to be fastened to the ceiling (which I was trying to avoid in the first place!). It just seems more practical to use low power lighting supported by small pieces of wood or metal extending from the wall. Being lighter in weight, they would not require a great deal of support!
Oh, well...Sabbath is coming on, so this discussion, along with the project, will have to wait 'til later!

You can buy Track lighting that will mount on the ceiling and then plug in some small or large flood lights . I have lighted most of my layout that way. The flood light can be swiveled to focus them .
Don
      Actually, I've thought about doing this with "low votage" lighting, but again, I run into the problem of getting the power to the lights without going up the walls.
     The possibility that someone suggested of going up the wall behind it, from an outlet below seems plausible, but I've really not firmly decided yet!
      HEY!! I just remembered, the people that had this house before had some speakers wired from across the room to the upper corner that would be ideal for low voltage lighting, so that may indeed be my answer!
    THANX!!for all the help, guys! I'll let you know how it turns out, and if I ever get a camera working, I'll even post pictures!
                                                                                         THANX!!

The problem that I run into is that running up the wall tends to interfere with the trains that I have on display on shelves. Perhaps I can get a picture of my train room tomorrow, but for now, I've got to go to work!
                                                                                            THANX!!

 :oMy "TRAIN ROOM" is downstairs in half of a family room, and it is DARK down there! Since I have trains on the wall, it would be difficult to put up lights, and I can't figure a way to put the lights in the ceiling without running the wires up the wall!Does anyone have any ideas?

 ;)Yampa Bob, you may read these notes, but you don't take them to heart; it's doubtful that you fully understand what I meant in an earlier thread when I said, directly to you, "HANG IT IN YOUR FLOPPING EAR!" You are the only one who takes the comments that I make and twists them to his own liking. Are you a Bible translator? (They tend to do that, too!)

     Bob, if your patience, or whatever, is wearing a bit thin, and you'd like to discuss it personally, you are welcome to come over and do so. I've been told that I'm a great "patience fattener"!
