I was wondering if there is anyway to reattach the light holder to the frame? I've tried liquid weld with no success, Any suggestions?

I am planning on running a 12 volt accessory buss to power leds and accessories for stuctures, small motors and other animations on my lay out. I will be using arduino pro minis for some of the animations (led and motors). The arduino power in states it will take up to 12 volts. It has onboard regulation to knock it down to 5 volts. This will probably cause the pro mini to get hot. I was thinking that if I built a breakout board with an LM7805, tied into the 12 volt buss. Ground would be common for both 12 and 5 volt supplies. Will this cause any problems?

stole this from another post

If "analog", I wouldn't put it on any form of DCC-powered track, as a matter of principle.

It is possible that by setting the Digitrax system to "00" you may have invoked the hybrid "Zero Bit Stretching" mode, which is a motor-cooking way of faking-out the DCC signal so it appears capable of driving a single analog loco...

On my layout that I'm building, I want to put led lighting in and outside of all my structures. I would really like to have a common power supply to power the structure lights without having to solder resistors in for every led. So the question is how many volt and amp power supply do I need? And how many led's can be supplied by one power source?

Thank you
