Thank you for the comment. I

Thank you for the comment. I am looking forward to finishing more of the details. 

Very Nice

Some good work there!

You'd never know

that this is N scale if it wasn't for the people.  As a fellow N scaler, I know the crispness of these castings are rather low.  Great job on the signs, and the jewels for lights is an excellent Idea for sure.  Please keep us updated with more pictures.

Thanks Michael for the

Thanks Michael for the comments, I enjoy the "expanded" possibilities that N Scale provides. So much more can fit in to a small space. 

Cheers

I'm not sure a "better"

I'm not sure a "better" camera will mean "better" pictures in this case.

I love shooting my trains with my iPhone. Because the lens is off-set into a corner, I can get photos (like yours...) nearly at eye level for N scale people. You're going to be at at least second to third story height with a more "conventional" camera.

I'm definitely going to have to make a run to Michaels and get some of those "jewels". This is the second time I've seen them mentioned for making industrial lights in N - I'm wanting to make some pole lights for my industrial Inglenook module, and they look like a perfect way to do it. I'm probably going to set them up to run off battery power (perhaps rechargeable C cells...) and avoid the whole tangle of cords issue.

Thanks barr_ceo for the

Thanks barr_ceo for the comments. You're correct, I purchased the jewels for the industrial lights from Michaels. For N Scale I had to get the smallest they had. They come on a peel and stick strip an are just over 2mm, so provide a one foot scale light. Michaels also has a round jewel the same size, these I have used to make pole lights by cutting the tops off telephone poles and leaving the lower cross bar. I amply glue the jewel to the two ends of the cross bar, providing a conical shape above the jewel.  I then paint the glue dab silver for the light reflector. So far it has turned out well. I will also be experimenting with shorter lights for the passenger station, when I reach that stage.

Thanks again,

Roger
