Soyokaze N Scale Vendors

My vendors list for Soyokaze is growing. As it stands now, I'll have just enough space for them to sell their items. :)  There will be nine vendors in all and the crowds around them will be thrilled to see the items that are available to them. Food, treats and small exhibits will keep the Soyokaze visitors happy.

Railway Museum Goodness!

More cool N Scale action from Asia!

The top translation reads: "Light, color and speed of the visual feast"
I agree! :)

Time to wire things up

I realized today that I won't be happy with my Old Town Soyokaze layout unless I wire it up with lights. I need to see the soft, orange glow coming from the buildings and light fixtures on the street. 

So...time to bite the bullet and learn about wires and voltage and all that madness. 

Yikes....

Guess I'll start here:

Any and all suggestions are welcome! 

Quinntopia had an awesome lighting overview in his SKYNET building video, but it was over my head for the most part. I'm sure time and study will help in clearing things up.

He has some great station wiring images up now as well:

The Tiny Hobby

I love to glue my n scale figures to bits of plastic so I can move them around from time to time.

And...the winner is...

"Old Town" has a new name. Who knew it would be so difficult with only four in the running. Two really.

"Old Town" is now named....Soyokaze!

 "Downtown" is now Shizuka.

I think it's safe to say this was a cheat, but the replies were really tight and I liked both, so what better way to deal with the situation?! :) Use both names!

Thank you to all those involved in the process!  It was great to get everyone's input.

Time to name OLD TOWN

Well, it's time to give OLD TOWN a proper name! It's starting to really take shape, so I thought that a proper, Japanese name could now be given to it.
I've written a friend from Japan and I told her what I was looking for in a name and she came up with some awesome ones. (THANKS MICHAL!)

Shizuka (quiet)
Heion (serenity)
Yasuragi (calm)
Soyokaze (gentle wind)
