This probably isn't worth its own post, but I was so pleased with this process that I had to document it. I picked up two of these lovely resin Bachmann buildings from Tony's Trains of Rugby. I also found a 12V power supply, a batch of reduced and mislabeled rocker switches, a distribution board and some yellowish LEDs from a certain union-busting online retailer which I will not invoke here out of shame. Great products though!
I painted the interiors of the buildings with a matt black acrylic, to prevent the light permeating the walls and roofs. I also covered the windows with baking paper to give the illusion of curtains or visual vagueness of a lit window viewed from far away. Finally, I drilled brass rodding into the corners of the buildings and baseboards and used superglue to help secure them. Have a look at the video below to check out the final effect. Later on I plan to add street lights to the same circuit. Enjoy!
