howdy ...

spent a few hours crawling under the layout and wiring almost all of the street lights and buildings. approximately 450ft of each red an black wire so far. lots of soldering and shrinktubing. sounds like a lot. but there still a bit missing :
- 7 more buildings with a total of 35 led
- 6 more street lights
- trucks and cars with lights

doesn't sound like a lof of work ? well, every single led requires two wires connected to the light computer. that means, the motel features 15 or so led. 30 wires. each light source can be controlled individually !
a car (4 led), truck with trailer (6 led) will just have 2 wires since all lights turn on/off at once. but installing lights in these tiny vehicules is another story. just read here : http://www.cp-forum.net/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=473

so stay tuned. soon enough there will be a first demonstration of all the light effects.
