In this video we´re building a multi-function valance over the layout which features both acoustics and illumination. The reason is simple. The valance improve the over-all layout appearence. Illumination closer to the layout surface than from the ceiling makes it exponentially more efficient.
Operating several trains with sound decoders simultaneously makes lots of noice, which is reflected by the ceiling and walls and beocmes unbearable after a while. A sound absorbing valance solves that problem.
