PMW. I just started at the beginning and kept reading during the NCAA championship FB game. Impressive build and reading the trials and tribulations of a 1st time builder.
To me you are on the right path but I missed if you are running trains. The buildings you are using are nice kits and with all the glass on the last one you are getting in some great training. What glue are you using to hold the glass to the walls? I use canopy glue as it dries clear and if it smudges (sorry Chris) it dries clear and no one knows but you.
I agree with Mike (migalyto) about lighting the buildings but in my experience I work on the layout first, city scenes later. But, if you want lights add them while you build the kit. I have turned a few kits into just facade fronts and used the back side of the kits to stretch out the building.
I will continue following as you progress. Have fun
