Amazing products you now make available to modelers fabulous

[@phyllisraines4754]

I am so glad I found these products, though expensive . I really like the just plug concept and certainly worth it when you do not know how to make your own lighting system.

[@pabassfisherman]

This is so great! Easy , efficient, and effective!

[@Boxcar_Bs_Trains_and_Things]

This system would be great for signaling. Especially for those who have layouts and don't really want a complicated signaling system, but rather a quick and easy way to add signal indications with the option to change aspects with just a push of a button.

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Thanks for the suggestion! I will pass that along to our Product Development team.

[@PennsyRailroad]

Do a video showing the system being installed into a layout. Drilling thru plywood tabletops, routing wires underneath, and back “up” to the controller modules. And then show the buildings being picked up for interior maintenance.

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Thank you for your suggestion! I will pass this along to our Product Development team for consideration.

[@DennisDuboisLifeview]

Great product for new Model Railroaders just getting into the hobby or those who have problems with electrical stuff. Those of us "Oldsters" who have been in the hobby forever perhaps not so much. Overall, I'm sure this new product line will be a great boon to many.

[@trainroomgary]

Excellent demo. • Cheers from Michigan

[@johnniebgoode]

Having just disassembled my layout to paint/install new flooring in the whole house, perfect time to upgrade to this. I was not looking forward to hooking up all those wires again.

[@anthonylorbach1884]

This looks great. It seems easy to use and quite versatile. If only I had more buildings built.

[@suelinerr]

GREAT idea. Thanks for sharing and leading the hobby to new areas.

[@MrLuvOldies]

Thanks. Looks very interesting.

[@3riversrambler]

Does it require one whole cord for each nano light?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Yes. Each Nano LED Light has its own 30AWG cable which plugs into one of the four ports on a Light Hub.

[@matsuyorei]

any chance there will be flickering (not flashing) lights in the future to give the effect of a fireplace or candles in a building?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Unaware of any current plans, but your request has been passed on to Product Development for consideration.

[@StigDesign]

cool&easy to use&pro for expanding.etc :D

[@DonnieDixonKenworth72]

Grade crossing lights would be Awsome

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Hello Donnie, Absolutely, grade crossing lights would be awesome, and the Nano Lights offered in the Just Plug System are specifically for this purpose! They are meant to simulate individual bulbs, and the red flashing Nano Lights would work great for flashing grade crossing lights. You would just run and super glue the wire alongside crossing bar, drill a tiny hole through the bar and light fixture, large enough for the Nano Light to fit through and super glue the Light in place. Paint the wire the same color as the crossing bar. Now you have a light ready to flash red when you have the crossing bar in the down position. Nano Lights can be used in the same way for vehicle headlights and taillights, flashing tower lights, factory light bulbs, etc… Hope this helps and Happy Modeling.

[@juniorleononetrainoneguy]

Thas thing is making the life so easy but am worried about how is going to cost all

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

junior leon By the time you invest in the tools you would need to begin building a lighting system for your buildings, you will be able to purchase the Just Plug products you need to light several buildings. Then there is also the time savings. Hope this help!

[@logginlocos9023]

Can you use this system with non-woodland scenic bulbs and of different voltages (5v vs. 3.5v)?

[@JenniferCosentino]

wow

[@CarmineRC]

I second that thought! And, what about aftermarket LEDs??

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Loggin' Locos The Just Plug Lighting System is made to be used with Just Plug Stick-On and Nano LEDs only.

[@DimitrisN79]

I bought a building with a led. I bought a light hub, too. Can I use the Auxiliary Switch for one building only or should have more light hubs and the Expansion Hub?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

The Auxiliary Switch will work for all items that are plugged into the same item that the Auxiliary Switch is plugged into.

[@toddgoaslind8102]

Hey Woodland! Great video. When running my layout at night, I would like to create a moonlight effect above the layout. Could I do that with the stick - on lights or nano lights? (I have shelves that hang out over part of the layout that I could attach them to.) Thank you for your help. Keep up the good work.

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Todd Goaslind Without actually seeing your set-up, a recommendation for placement is tough, but it sounds like you could very well stick the light up under the shelf. The LED Stick On Lights simulate more of an overall glow, and the Nano Lights simulate an individual bulb, so for a moon effect, we would recommend trying the Stick On Light to get the effect you are looking for. Hope this helps!

[@alexandrenogueira5378]

That system it's very cool? Just don't understand one thing. I can control the intensity of the lights, alright... So far so good. But my question it's can I control the blinking lights with that? Can I define a different blink time to each one off the different lights? Or it's just the led that blink and that just control the intensity/brithness of the led? Thanks 😉

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

If you are referring to the red LED at 2:58, that is our Red Flashing LED Nano Light. If you are interested in having lights turn on and off, we recommend the Sequencing Light Hub. You can watch this video for more information: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaXUXouvm66Bf80

[@stooge5172]

How did you make the red LED flash on the factory's water tower?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Raymond Szabo Hello Raymond, the Red Flashing LED light comes that way. You just hook it up and it flashes. There will also be a Yellow Flashing LED light available. Thanks for you interest!

[@Willysmb44]

When is this coming out? It's not for sale anywhere I can find, nor online right now...

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Willysmb44 It is in hobby shops and online right now. We have already heard from several modelers who have purchased it. Check with the hobby shops in your area and if you do not live near any hobby shops, you can Google "Just Plug Light Hub", and you will find several online dealers that are carrying the System. Hope this helps!

[@matsuyorei]

do the yellow flickering lights make a good look of candle or fireplace light?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

This will depend on the effect you are trying to achieve. Our Yellow LED Flashing Nano Lights flash. They do not flicker like a flame.

[@dominiquech.3367]

I want this system, it is so easy to use. Is the just plug also coming to the Netherlands?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Dominique du Chatenier Hello! Both of our European distributors have indicated they intend to carry the Just Plug Lighting System. I would venture a guess that if your favorite local hobby shop currently carries Woodland Scenics products, then chances are they will sell Just Plug also. You may want to ask them the next time you are in there shopping. Hope this helps!

[@dominiquech.3367]

Thanks for the info! I will contact my hobby shop dealer 😁

[@michaelmohrmann]

OK, I have a question: Suppose I want a building to have an interior, but I still want illumination, what would you suggest I do then?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Michael Mohrmann Hello Michael, This is a great idea! Most of our O scale Built-&-Ready structures have lights and interiors, and the lighting really brings out the realism in the interior. We suggest test lighting your building with your chosen interior until you reach the effect you are looking for. You can use the Light Block Kit or the Light Diffusing Window Film to cover windows that do not have a view of an interior, or to create the illusion of another room that does not have any lights on. Hope this is helpful!

[@michaelmohrmann]

***** That's all well and fine, but I model in HO scale. So what are your suggestions? Thanks again. :)

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Michael Mohrmann Hello Michael, I guess i worded my answer poorly, and I apologize. I was using the O scale as an example of how well that idea works....even with other scales. Go ahead and install your interior, and temporarily affix your lighting in various positions, until you find the one that illuminates your interior to your satisfaction. You may want to put a ceiling in the first floor (for buildings with multiple floors) and use a Nano light, if you want only the first floor illuminated, or you can use the Light Block Kit and/or the to Light Diffusing Kit to completely block or merely diffuse some light from illuminating out top floor windows. Hope this is a more helpful answer!

[@michaelmohrmann]

Oh no, that was in fact a very good answer on your part. And I do thank you, you've been most helpful and I really do appreciate it. :)

[@logginlocos9023]

Also, how many mm are the nano lights?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Loggin' Locos The Nano LEDs measure 0.5 mm x 1 mm.

[@rscott417]

If I wanted to add lights to a vehicle I would need 4 LEDs (2 headlights & 2 taillights) which would require 1 lighting hub just for 1 vehicle? Could one output handle 2 (or more) LEDs if spliced together?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

The Just Plug system is designed for one light per Light Hub port. Sorry, but we cannot guarantee the results if using it differently.

[@edwardepps5063]

Hi Woodland Scenes, I have a question. The just plug items that are being sold, can they be used in non Woodland Scenes buildings? Please keep in mind that im very new to the hobby (less than 6 months) and would like to know. Thanks

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

+Edward Epps The answer is yes! The Just Plug Lighting System was created with the idea that you can add light anywhere you need it! It's an incredibly simple process, even for beginners. Welcome to the hobby and happy modeling!

[@perth45]

what about taller buildings, some of mine are 3ft tall....

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

We only produce N, HO and O scale models, and very few structures are near that height. You can use our DPM modular pieces to create structures as tall as you want though. Your request has been passed on to our Product Development department for consideration.

[@joeygmc528]

I found this vid off a magazine I had a QR code

[@jaybriscoe6385]

How were you able to make the red nano-light flash?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Jarrett Briscoe Hello Jarrett, Our Red and Yellow Flashing Nano lights have a special circuit board soldered onto the Nano LED that makes them flash automatically. We also offer the Red Nano and Yellow Nano Lights that do not flash. Hope this helps!

[@robtooyi6746]

Is there blinking lights?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Tyler Juszczyk Yes Tyler, There will be both Yellow and Red blinking lights available.

[@grahamboaviation]

Can you put a just plug in a kato n-scale building?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Yes, you can use the Just Plug Lighting System to light any structure made from any manufacturer.

[@piratef2004]

Are there any plans for streetlights for the Just plug system?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

piratef2004 We have not made any decisions about adding future components to the Just Plug System, however, streetlights would be very cool! I will forward your suggestion to our Product Development Team for consideration. Thanks for your interest!

[@rscott417]

***** Different variations of street lights would be nice because I was planning on using Walthers street lights but seems they will not work with this Just Plug system.

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

rscott417 Yes...it would seem that streetlights would make a very nice addition to the Just Plug System. Hopefully, as we more forward with the initial release and make plans for beyond...we will certainly keep these in consideration. Thanks for your interest!

[@wesap1]

why arent they in yet?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Hello Wes! Just Plug is still scheduled to ship to hobby shops in February. We have had such an overwhelming response to the Just Plug system, that we are making sure product gets to the brick and mortar stores and our distributors, before we offer it for purchase online through our website. Check with your local hobby shop to see if they have already ordered it for their store. They can let you know when it arrives. Thanks for your interest!

[@wesap1]

***** Hurry up...getting excited!

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Wes Phillips We are too! :-)

[@animekmodels9873]

Hello, can you give me the dimensions of the Stick On Light? W x L and thickness. Thanks

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Animek Models It is 8 mm wide 8.3 mm long x 3 mm thick (approx. 5/16” x 21/64” x 1/8”). Hope this is helpful!

[@animekmodels9873]

***** Yes! Very helpful, thanks.

[@LittlePwnageMusicFan]

Are Lights even important for Model Railroad layouts?

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

You can add lights to your layout in order to create interest and add more realism!

[@satyanpatel6403]

I would buy this in a heart beat if they had a "just plug" for red blue and red red fast flashing led sets so I can place them in my modern police cars and fire trucks.I just blew my red red and red blue flashing sets as for I was trying to soldier them to the rest of my led building lights cause I took too long to soldier. :/ Oh and I forgot a quick blue and slow white to simulate welding as for a few years back I burned that out too again trying to soldier it.

[@ModelSceneryExpert]

Thanks for those suggestions! We do have Red LED Flashing Nano Lights and Yellow LED Flashing Nano Lights (link below) that might work for you, and we also have a Just Plug Police Car with a red flashing light. I have passed your comment on to our Product Development Department for consideration. woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/JPNALGT/page/1

[@satyanpatel6403]

I just went and bought the whole enchilada last night from Hobby Lobby (well my wife bought it for me). I am using DCC power so that works and tested really well. The red flashing nano is bright, but doesn't flash fast enough for modern police cars. In a sense it could work of course in just a more subtle way. I haven't installed it on my layout, but really happy with it so far as testing goes. Really love the individual dimmers as for not all buildings are built and lit the same way in real life. The yellow are perfect for the classic style of buildings (delis/ bodegas and old apartments). The 2 white lights that the light and hub starter set comes with will work perfect in my modern office buildings and the modern industrial buildings.

[@Adol666]

These are way too expensive for what they are. You can get like 20 streetlights of anystyle for like $5 on ebay. Its not that hard to wire them up and buy a AA battery pack for $1. Batteries are cheap too at the dollar store I can get 6 AA for $1
