Light strips for layouts can be affixed behind valences to light the layout, not the room.

Here is an example from the Central Coast Model Railroad at the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum.

On result is that for something like the building, you get a rather sharp-edged shadow from the eves cast onto the building sides.? Somewhat sunlight looking.? This is because all of the light is coming from small points at the same angle in that plane.? but for something small, like a pole, there is no shadow at all.? I remember reading about how John Allen painted some places on his backdrop lighter where something cast a shadow to make the shadow disappear.? I've been thinking the reverse could be done and paint shadows on the ground for something like a pole, or even a vehicle so long as it stayed in one place.

This is an overall view.? There was no valence and LED strip lighting for the upper level when I took this photo.? This is being added now as a continuing work project.? But the lower level shows the overall effect.? The room lights are dimmable, and we can lower them a bit to get a more dramatic effect.
