All these builds are looking great with so many cool ideas making it hard to finish it. I keep doing extra stuff after seeing all these custom add-ons.
Some progress pictures and LEDs I'm using to light it with:
Neatly running all the lower FO to the rear to light with (2) 8mm cool white LEDs. Will be using tubes to hold down all the FO. A total (5) 8mm cool white LEDs to light all the FO and (2) 3mm red LEDs for some accent FO. This does not include the engine bells and hangar bay. I'm also going with cool white for the 3 accent points on each side of the trench with 0402 super small SMDs

Leveled the command tower and finished off where it connects at the back. The magnets hold it down very tight and flush you cannot tell its not glued which it will not be.

A closer look at the inside of the garbage chute with a back wall. I lit with flashlight for this picture. I chose a red SMD to light the interior of it which looks really cool.

I used tubes to run the LEDs for the engines. The smaller one fits into the larger tube so I can adjust how far the LED is inserted into the engine bells to get the most flooded / lit look. I'm trying out 5mm clear blue, clear white, diffuse blue and diffused white LEDs to see which ones have the best effect for the engine bells. The larger 8mm clear LED is for the FO and the 2mm diffused white LEDs is for the hangar bay.

Waiting on an order of Evergreen to do all the effects around the engine bells
I tested the 6 channel RF wireless remote switch and it works really good. I also tested the Model trains IR dimmer switch with 3 sensors and that works really good. I will be using both together.
