These clear, ribbed, plastic rods are designed to diffuse the light from a LED placed underneath the building, thus lighting the whole structure up! So not only do these tiny buildings have detailed interiors they can be lit up too.
This would light the whole building up mind you so I wonder if some careful use of black paint on the plastic rod you might be able to make it appear like some rooms have the lights switched off...
Thats something to work on...
Actually this cautionary tale is a very good advert for the "talking t gauge" forum. I would never have known this fact about lighting the buildings if it wasn't for the forum. So, if you are reading this and are interested in the idea of modelling in T gauge. Then get over there and sign up. It's free and it's friendly. Any questions that you have can be answered over there.
