No, you just need more light in the room. Same problem I had.

Seeing you have taken so much trouble to make that impressive setup i would suggest you cover the roadbed with some ballast. the naked plastic is looking out off place

Nice job. You might want to break/cut the bases off of the signs and people. You can then glue them directly to the surface for a more realikstic appearance.- MS

It looks good, but you need more lighting in your photos.

You could use a swivel-type lamp thingy, like I use when I shoot pix of my layout (in progress)

thanks! i'll probably get a lamp like that, the fluorescent basements light won't cut it,

well, really all i have to do, is touch up paint, dust it off a bit and fix one or two electrical problems! :D

then i guess i'll make a video ::)

Sounds good. I got my lamp for $3 at a garage sale.
