I stopped by UPRailFan's home today.

Josiah & Chris Andrews

This is the item he purchased to put lights in his commuter car.

This is what Josiah used to light
his CNW commuter cab car.

Oops! I left my decoder at his house.
I will need to return to retrieve so I can
get started on that project.

Meanwhile...back at home

Installing the traffic lights at Washington Street.

The full install.

Trying to eliminate the shadows.

Two prototype pictures put together to recreate
the scene I'm trying to model.

Another attempt to capture the model compared to...

...the prototype.

Not bad.

Working on traffic signals and crosswalks on Clinton Street

Taping the edges of the crosswalk at Washington St.
and...

...at Randolph St.

Manually adding the lines at Washington St. and...

...Randolph Street.

Washington Street DONE!

Randolph Street DONE!

Now to add the traffic signals at Randolph Street

I like it a lot.

Next step:

Wire up the lights to make them work!

I can hardly wait, but I will have to wait since

I'm leaving on vacation in two days.
