Although I have several buildings on my N layout, none of them are secured ... ie, if I tilt the layout to do some wiring I have to remove them otherwise they fall around.
Most of my buildings are lit and to facilitate bulb replacement I would have to remove the building as the bulbs are wired directly to feeder pins through the baseboard. All bulbs are run at voltages less than their rated values but....... murphys law is sure to apply sooner or later so at least one will fail.
How do you fix your buildings? and, if glued or otherwise secured how do you cater for possible bulb replacement?
Also, this might be a good thread for ideas on methods of fitting lights in buildings and whether clear bulbs are to be preferred rather than 'pearl' bulbs. Also how fibre optics may be used for those tiny outside lamps.
I'm raising this question as later this year several N modules are likely to visit Toronto from far and near and I have no doubt most will have buildings on them.
