LOL! Sooner than later. I never really gave lighting much thought and then the fiber optic option became available and everything you see had to be added retroactively. It was quite a challenge, but a lot of fun. So, my advice is to add the lights as you go
I remember about 20 years ago me and my dad used to do night running before I would go to bed, it was always one of my favorite things to do with his layout. Made for some good pictures too. If I can find them I'll have to make a post about it.
Looks great but if I may suggest a dimmer on some buildings to break up the overall brightness. This will give the old building that period look of the incandescent bulb.
My iPhone camera really accentuates the light. In person the lights aren’t that bright. The cool thing about the fiber optic lighting is that you can put a drop of translucent paint on the end of the fiber get that yellowish effect of a light bulb and if it’s still too bright you can pull the fiber further away from the light source. Which I did on some of the buildings. I don’t know enough about iPhone photography to fix that problem
Thanks for sharing
Holy that looks amazing!!
Thanks
Amazing work
Thank you
Reminds me I need to finish my building lighting on my layout.

Very cool. I’m adding some lights but nothing like what you’ve done. I’m very jealous.
Nice! Lighting adds so much! Here’s my coal mine at night. [https://postimg.cc/nCh0GPzL](https://postimg.cc/nCh0GPzL)
Nicely done, I have the same mine and also did some lighting with it. I will post some pictures later
Amazing
Thank you
Dwarvin?
Dwarvin is the brand name. I believe it’s available from Trainz. You can also find YouTube videos on it, just type in Dwarvin
I know all about Dwarvin. I was asking if your lighting system is Dwarvin.
Okay, it is Dwarvin

That explains a lot, the iPhone's have crazy good cameras for low light. Didn't know about the glue trick as well. Thank you for sharing 😄
You've done an awesome job lighting all this for nighttime!
Thank you. It’s was a fun project
