Brilliant idea with the ikea draw separators, like your build of the platform, nice use of materials Steve.

I looked up those lamps you are using and they are a nice design as the battery is housed inside the base.
How big are they?

The ones i used are 12v with the wiring on the underside of the platform.

I also used the sticky 12V LED strips you get on a reel to light inside the buildings

Time to simplify the track layout near the greenhouse as the double slip is causing derailments (its R1, everything else is minimum R3)

Nice to see a DCC system here, thanks for sharing. Looks like a lot of track to keep clean!

Wow! That's some run. I assume you're using DCC with four trains on the go.
