Experimenting with LED striplights

I started using 4100k t-8 bulbs, horrible CRI....Ordered LED striplights, suppossed to be 4000K, not even close - that upper light blue and lower dark blue IS the SAME color paint! There are actually three colors of light used in this pic - The upper left is GE Sunshine 5000K high CRI bulbs, the lower is the LED... and past the boxcar and drawings is the 4100K lighting. I will slowly switch to 5000K bulbs, and order some LED's that are 5000K. If they don't work, I'll use GE Sunshine CFL's in some areas.

Charlottesville - lower deck

Still need to build the upper deck here. It will be Staunton, VA. To the right is the Southern Crossing at Union Station. You can really see the 3 different backdrop colors in this pic (see LED post)

More...

Here in the lower level is Ivy, VA. There we have the Westvaco Pulpwood loading and a grocery warehouse siding.  Upper level will be Fishersville with a small grain siding.

Continued...

The lower section here will be Afton, VA - the entrance to Blue Ridge Tunnel. After entering the tunnel, and rounding the helix, it will exit the tunnel on the other side of the stairs and reach the upper level here- (Paper Roll) From there, we go downgrade into Basic/Waynesboro and interchange with the N&W. Still need to add the backdrop in this area.

More progress pics

Upper deck will be Waynesboro, VA and lower will be Crozet, VA. Towns will be offset from each other. I really should have cleaned up before taking these ......

Progress pics

New peninsula under construction. Upper deck will be close to Fishersville, VA and the lower deck is between Ivy, VA and Mechums Creek Bridge.
