Traffic 'n train lights?

So, when I'm not working - which is never from 9-5 on weekdays, mind you - I find myself looking at y'alls Instagram feeds of past project and future experiments. And here we are.…

Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
@Rob Klingberg Well, slap my knee - that makes sense... clever! 🙂 And it'll probably be far more obvious when I reassemble this beauty, but I deem her 97% complete.…

Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
Yup, it's obviously castle day in Modularton's theme park area - which still lacks a name. Side question: Is there a method to the madness in terms of how the color-changing lights work in…

Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
@Paul George Admittedly inelegant, but removing the two lower columns and lowering the chandelier helps enough with a good (better) set of tweezers. I *adore* the Velcro tabs on the back of the 2:…

Re: Longer Picos?
@Rob Klingberg Y'all are good like that! 🙂 I'll drop you an email, but the PP invoice is fine, and a bargain at most any price. Thank you!

Re: Longer Picos?
@Rob Klingberg I'm in! Visualizing a one-and-done one-off sort of order of a two 10-pack bulk or so? (My emergency planner mode kicks in: with five as current need, another five for growth,…

Re: Longer Picos?
@Tony Nixon One question eliminated, thanks Tony! Two follow-up questions - were those a custom order for your project, and what sort of length(s) did you end up using?

Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
Okay, purely out of the most humble of places and a suggestion of kindness, love and good-will... Problem statement: My sausage fingers seem to be at odds with pico plugs (generally, not just here),…

Longer Picos?

I'm sure I blew over the "standard" length of the pico lights (12-inch i think? Didnt see it in the bulk light description unless I blew by it)... but, is there any appetite for longer wires, say,…

Re: 4 Channel Controller with the 3-button remote?
@Rob Klingberg Groovy! And apparently deleted my own reply, derp. That helps tremendously - and gives me new options (or channels) for the 4x8-foot township that's currently just a two-channel town…

4 Channel Controller with the 3-button remote?

First, new post in the category, yea! Question on the 4-channel controller. (Hurrah!, by the way). 'Cuz I'm thick-brained at times, in the product we've got four channels. The remote has A - B - C.…

Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
@Crissy Chan Not one drop, no. 🙂 In my specific 'use case,' I did (queue gasps) hacksaw four parts and trim three others. I'm 98% certain it's due to how I have the castle on a baseplate,…

Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
@Crissy Chan Oooooh, way over the need. There's... maybe a dozen needed? I've used four so far in my sticky-for-boat-stud swap. (The tower has maybe six, and the exterior lights are zero...…

Re: Turntables for Displaying LEGO Sets

Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
Got my first five 'boat studs' in yesterday, and am loving both the look (closer fit to the ceiling)... and that they can double as a wire management aid -- because, obviously,…

Re: Light up Disney Castle # 71040
That's an outstanding question @Alison Narehood ! In past posts, and from my own past experience, there's no wrong answer. In my case, I built fully before there was formal confirmation of a kit…
