I now have a mixture of fluorescent fixtures with ballasts and a few direct wire without ballasts. You need specific tubes for both - no 1 size fits all. The direct wire fixtures are really an empty box just to hold the tombstones.

?

And they are not wired like I thought. For the direct wire LED tubes all wires from one end go to white and all wires from the other end go to black. Luckily nothing bad happened to 6 tubes when I had them wired wrong.

I added 8 feet more of lighting here over the engine house. (Closest on the right and farthest on the left) It is a main scene of the layout. Changing to LEDs and adding more light here is?very?noticeable. No comparison to what it was.

I am going to ballast the track while I have it cleared out.
