- Looking for lighting advice for the houses in a (O-gauge) miniature village
I've been workng on "Storybook"-style Houses for a wooden miniature village I'm building for my wife. They are approximately 1/48th-1/35th scale. There will be several in the village.
I plan to light them internally, but I only need one light in each. I will cover the windows in translucent paper so you just see the glow from within.
I'm debating on what kind of lighting to use. Simplest would be little 4watt Night Lights, plugged into 110v extension cords run in the back of each house. But I wonder if it would be better to go for something safer, like in the 12v range, and maybe I can run all lights off one cord. (I guess I could use a string of old Christmas lights, with one bulb in each house.)
Suggestions?
