Well I went ahead and moved things around in the town. Ended up doing more re-wiring than anything else. I now have different connectors for my Miller 5v signs and for the building LEDs and street lights 12v. Not quite done with the Woodland Scenics store - lost momentum doing all the little detail painting and thinking about how to put LED chips into the goose neck lights that will illuminate the sign.
Also added a K-Line Interurban which arrived today from Stout. 1 day UPS delivery - the stars were aligned. These can be modified to run off the power poles. Next layout I have a plan for a 2 rail city line running off overhead wires. Really wanted a couple of the brass trolleys from a past auction but the hammer prices were more than I was willing to part with. One of these days. Considering they have been in a box for who know how long, once the contacts were cleaned, they run pretty nice. Interior lighting is good, interior details decent and the green/red running lights mostly switch in tandem forward and reverse.
The only Twin Pines buildings I did not move were the MTH corner buildings toward the back of the layout.
Not super visible, but I added 5 LEDs under the theater marquee and one above to light the building medallion. These are on a dimmer to adjust to lighting needs.
When I build the next layout the backdrops are going to the ceiling. Have to laugh, I have been watching the old painting shows on PBS and Create to pick up some techniques on scene painting. Besides the amazing way they add a little of this and a little of that and a touch of another to get the color they want - yet never mixing it uniform to have color gradation - its they way they build depth to a flat 2D canvas by painting layers back to front.
Have a great rest of the week everyone. !!!
