    It's great to see second-hand items being recycled/updated.

    Decided to put a light whilst on work bench. Once back on layout hope the light will appear duller being on a black-ish base http://www.click RALPH

    Nicely done Ralph, looks the part now. I think the light might just need dimming a little on the layout but once its "planted" you will get a better idea. :thumbs:Kim
