Simple DIY Ideas

Delru sent in these ideas to share:

“I would like to let folks know how easy it is to add many ‘accessories’ to your table without the train store pricing.  For example, we wanted 6 spotlights to highlight various fair rides. Train store cost? $78.  We took some small bells, clipped out the ringer, spray painted them flat black, and ran an LED light thru them.  Set them upside down (wide bell facing up). Cost? $2.99 for a pack of 24. Just want to encourage people to think outside the box. Now looking for O scale swans to use as rides on an HO Tunnel of Love.  Trains are expensive, but your layout accessories don’t have to be.”
