I have now put in the rest of the streetlights along Main Street (for now)...
Here they are, installed along the near side of Main St. They only go to the end of the plywood board, not the end of the (still un-finished) street. The houses on the end are still in the dark.
The second two lights I installed, across from the KFC and Domino's.
The same scene at night.
Main Street at night!
Now Hillsdale can really come alive at night. More lighting has been planned for Bank Street, along with a few vehicles with working headlights! While I could add vehicles with working lights along Main and other streets, for one thing it would get expensive due to the number of vehicles. Plus, not all vehicles can be equipped with headlights. Finally, I regularly swap out cars and trucks on the layout, so having them wired into place is impractical. Due to the relative inaccessability of Bank Street, however, lighted vehicles can be used since the cars on that street rarely even get touched!
