Have you added any lights to your buildings and streets? <br /><br />We are now thinking of adding coloured light signals at various locations both to add realism and to control train movement. I think the addition of lights, along with lots of people, truly brings a model railway to life.<br /><br />I agree with you wrt lighting coaches. I would love to add lights to our coaching stock but there is no quick and simple way to do it. Another project for the future, no doubt.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559047352074762826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865703496550202571.post-7908694987427025922011-01-26T10:54:08.414+00:002011-01-26T10:54:08.414+00:00Tom - I keep re-arranging the lights above our rai...Tom - I keep re-arranging the lights above our railway as more buildings and other railway lights are installed. I'm also trying to get it darker on the country bits and brighter at stations and in the 'town'.<br /><br />Endless fun!<br /><br />I do wish they'd come up with a more efficient and cheaper way of lighting up the inside of a passenger train - and what about that tail lamp?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865703496550202571.post-80845273842635124812011-01-25T07:38:08.067+00:002011-01-25T07:38:08.067+00:00Hi Micky,

They really are a handsome and hard-working loco with a terrific bark too which, sadly, can never be recreated in small model.<br /><br />Sound, though, does bring a model railway to life and enhances the driving experience enormously.<br /><br />I must admit, although lights were always a must, the firebox and smoke were probably not essential but they do add to the effect - the firebox looks great, too, in the semi-darkness.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559047352074762826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865703496550202571.post-46696766476177761492011-01-24T16:33:14.045+00:002011-01-24T16:33:14.045+00:00The Black 5 has long been one of my very favourite...The Black 5 has long been one of my very favourite engines so I'm really pleased that yours is now performing so sweetly.<br /><br />We have sound on all our steam locos (which means all our locos!) and it brings them to life like never before! And we have loco lights on our two passenger express locos.<br /><br />You've beaten us on the firebox and smoke though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
