Period Lighting For Your Model Railroad (316)

Getting just the right lights for your model railroad platforms, buildings, and street scenes can sometimes be tricky but it just got a bit easier. DCC Concepts has released their Legacy Skyline Lamps which cover a variety o model railroad eras from the mid-1800s all the way up to the current modern era. In this video I'll show you each of their 3 era lamps, go over how they go together and are installed on a layout, including how to wire them. Then I'll take you through an installation on my Piedmont Southern layout.
