I assume your putting in crossing and street lights tho'?I’m not planning on adding any lighting to my structures. Thought about it during the design phase of my layout but decided against it.

No street lights planned at the moment but I would like to have operational crossing bucks. Unfortunately, the ones I want from NJ International aren’t available.I assume your putting in crossing and street lights tho'?
Have you thought about maybe scratch building them?No street lights planned at the moment but I would like to have operational crossing bucks. Unfortunately, the ones I want from NJ International aren’t available.
I was planning on scratch building some nonfunctional ones for now. Still need to come up with an electrical design for functional cross bucks.Have you thought about maybe scratch building them?
Merchant’s Row II is well underway! Few touchups need to be made as always but it’s coming along.
I learned something new about model building from this kit so far, and it is the fact that older kits can be more difficult to work with! Some of the parts are warped slightly making the assembly a little more difficult.
On a different note, you can see in the photo below the obvious difference between the frosted window panes and the normal ones. I would have never thought about frosted panes if I hadn’t gotten glue on the windows by mistake so for what it’s worth, this mistake turned out to be no issue at all

That’s a good idea! I’ll have to try that.To your comment about warping, on several occasions I have glued a stiffner beam somewhere inside the building, to alleviate this issue. I like to put floors into my multi story buildings, and often incorporate the beams into the floor locations.
I like the appearance of this build, clever about the frosted glass!

Yeah, that was the only thing I didn’t care for when I found these tanks online. At some point in the future I’ll see if I can find some ladders that are more realistic.Those ladders look way out of scale. I like the rest of it!
