And "Hi!" to Jerry at Hobby Smith in Portland, who eventually made the connection that, yes, we were that crazy couple building the monster layout somewhere outside of St. Louis. (Hobby Smith is a great, great resource for N scalers! We did not leave empty-handed.)
So that's nine trains not cluttering the visible portion of the layout but available instantly. (Emphasis added.)
I have relented. Many months and pages ago, a couple of you (I won't name names... Gary... )
A note for Gary... we were talking about total lumens and I accused you of having surgical levels of lighting. Well, based on the performance of the troffers installed so far (5500 lumens each), your observations are vindicated. If I were relying on the troffers alone for primary lighting, given the space and ceiling height, I would need twice what I will have. The spot lighting from the track light system and of course the theater lights will more than make the difference, but I am still somewhat surprised that these "work lights" will be merely adequate.
