Lights, camera, no action. The cheap little Hornby set transformer, 1/2 amp worked well
before, but when I go to plug it in now it goes into overload after 2 or 3 minutes. Too late
to start monking around, finding another transformer, so will work on video next chance
I get, maybe a couple of weeks . I see from the photo I need to clean up the grass.

I lit up the street lights by placing a 9 volt battery in the hospital connected to a on/off
switch. Two of the three light up well, the third is a dim glow.

So is the bus no longer working? Looks good with the Aero Train, can we get a pic of how you incorporated the plywood into the middle?

It seems like you brought the grass mat up and over the plywood. Looks good!

The bus works great, but its current draw is too much for the
el cheapo transformer.

Oh, ok. I was a bit confused before. Yeah, the newer transformers dont always have enough juice for these old school models! Yeah, a better transformer would do wonders!
