Woodland Scenics Just Plug Light Installation method

[@peterstrains4339]

Thats a great method, I should have watched your video before I did the lights on my layout, I was shocked at how fragile those wires are for street lights. Nice layout and details !.

Thanks! I got tired of trying to thread track leads through the com, so I used a straw to feed it through, then I had this thought to take it one more step so I’m not gluing the expensive light post, but the cheap styrene. Thanks for watching!

@@goaliegeorge Yes for sure that is a good way of doing it. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays.

Thank you for posting this. 👍👍 I was wondering how I was going to get the tiny pole wires threaded through small hole in foam and plywood. The small plastic tube is great idea. I can use this idea for track signals too.

[@goaliegeorge]

Thanks for watching. Yes, use it for any through hole wire setup. Soda straws are a great option for just wires if needed. Good luck and I’m happy this helped ya!!

It was really hopeful and I gave you credit in my video. 👍

Neat video! I dont know if you were told but i did get hired at a gm dealership buick gmc. I have thought about installing this system in my upper town i am building on top of my tunnel.

Daniel Coombs congrats! I hadn’t heard yet.. I love the JP lights. Yes, there are cheaper ways, but this works well and I don’t have to fabricate too much! (Grin). Just have to manage the wires.

[@DCoombs928]

goaliegeorge How many lights can be wired in one box? Looks like ill be researching their system to find out how many can be strung in a series circuit

[@goaliegeorge]

Daniel Coombs as I’ve been told, 3 lamps per a plugin. Each hub has 4 plugin. I did put 4 LEDs on a single plug, so it may vary based on the current draw of the LEDs. I’m going to be experimenting on a building soon, so check with me in a week or so. Thanks!!

Great video while I was doing this I broke tips off of the red wire do you know how I get the coding off the wire so I can reconnect it

[@seanpacificrailroad3700]

I got it I used a lighter to burn off the coating 😀👍

[@goaliegeorge]

Ideally, wire strippers, but you cannot do that with magnet wire.. so, usually I’ll put a blob of solder on the iron and dip the tip I need stripped into the hot solder to not just remove the clear varnish, but also to tin the wire for connecting. I hope this helps. Thanks!

@@goaliegeorge thank you 🙏

[@seanpacificrailroad3700]

I actually used a lighter and it also came right off easily 😀 thank you for your suggestion 👍

[@robertnelson432]

How do you connect the wires from the lights to the first hub?
