Here's some pics of the dio. In some of the pics you will see that I don't have the black walk way in front of the x-wings. I've been debating on whether or not too keep it there or take it down.

What do you guys think?

hey, Mandalore the skepsis, where did you get this flexible hose you're using on the lights?



I'd like to use that for parts of my dio...

thanks

It *looks like* the cable-bundling wrap the WalMart carries in the "small electrical" section, held up by conduit u-clamps?  *I* wanna know what those light-fixtures are.

I bought the hose from a online hose store... http://www.cabletiesandmore.com/

The light fixtures I made by using two water bottle caps glued together. I then took a dremel bit and made a hole through both once there cured.
The actual leds I bought, I bought here...http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/

And yup those are those clamps you get at any home supply store.
I wanted a more industrial look with it.

Oh, my!  Thanks for sharing, as I would have NEVER gotten the light-covers... despite having DOZENS of those caps in my stash.  Is the tubing the "split wire loom" product on their site?  Or maybe the "non-slit" type?  Awesome sites, man - thanks for sharing!

It's the slit type.
Thanks for the compliments on the lights.
