This is Missy's fault. I wasn't going to bother with working lights but after seeing what was achievable I decided to give it a go. A few of the rooms in the flats will also receive illumination once some white miniature surface mount LED's arrive.

 

Cheers!

Mmmm, if you need some more gauntlets throwing down Tom.... ;)

 

How about:

 

-A widescreen TV on in one of the windows

-To compete with Missy's Morris Minor, how about a car with its indicator flashing on and off..

-Or maybe a pedestrian with their face illuminated whilst replying to a text message :blink:

 

Looking forward to seeing more progress!

A flickering light in one of the rooms might do to simulate a TV being on - as long as it was mounted in a TV shaped box and shon into to the room rather than being visible out of the window. That would be neat - but perhaps a little gimmicky. What you've achieved so far is fantastic though. Especially considering this stuff must be tiny :)

Hmm, a 2mm iphone...........

 

Cars with head & tail lights are definitely on the cards though, and a supply of red & white micro LED's should be winging it's way to me right now. I think the base for these will be a few of the tomytec cars.

 

Cheers all!

Those lights look great, some of the best I've seen in N gauge. Are they scratchbuilt and if so are you prepared to give us the recipe?

 

If you've already posted it somewhere, just toss me a link and accept my grovelling apologies! I'm new to blogland and not sure how it all works...

Thanks! There isn't a how to at the moment but I'll try and knock something together and post it here over the next few days.

 

Cheers,

I keep coming back to this photo, it's very atmospheric. Pre-dawn, very quiet with the sky a mixture of pearlescent glow hinting of sunrise and the light pollution that so annoys astronomers. The sodium lamps are very impressive.

 

I look forward to more.
