Ahh, living the dream! I have always been interested in model railroading and trains, ever since I can remember. I'd love to have a room like that, to build something. Maybe someday! There aren't to many hobbies, greater then model railroading and radio controls trucks/construction equipment. At least not in my opinion! Good to meet another fan of the Espee. Oregon is some beautiful country. I'd like to visit it someday. I can't think of a finer setting for a Southern Pacific layout. Good choice!

LEDs not working - all I can think of is maybe you got some paint somewhere it wasn't supposed to go and it bridged an electrical connection, shorting out some of the LEDs. Most paints do conduct electricity.
