has kits in mul-
tiple scales for a realistic pan-type
aluminum awning. It is designed
to fit MMW’s two- and three-story

easily adapted to other buildings.
The awning is assembled in layers so the top and side louvers can be
painted multiple colors. Kits are available for HO scale (3.3” wide), S
scale (4.33” wide), and O scale (5.8” wide). Visit the above website for

Woodland Scenics
has come
up with a new idea for light-
ing structure interiors. When
placed over a single bulb,
structures that have their
widows fitted with special
light-diffusing film appear fully
lighted. Areas not wanting to appear lit can be partitioned off.
The brightness level of individual bulbs can be adjusted with
dimmer controls. The system, called the Just Plug™ Lighting
System, is suitable for all scales and is said to be compatible
with DCC operations. The diffusing film, bulbs, power supplies,
and accessories used in the system can be purchased individu-
ally. Complete details are available at the above website.
