Not only the high mast lights. Something else I need as well.

This one would be nice in my route (without the banner sign)

Guys tell me if this is to much lighting on this building. I need good opinions.

Looks just right, that's actually what a lot of buildings look at night, including the empire state building.

I think it's way too bright. No building I know is that brightly lit, the energy cost alone wouldn't make sense.

Yeah it is way too bright. It is glowing like a full moon on a clear night. Tone it down at least 50%.

Nope, it was I that built the skyscrapers, those were part of my recent 30's Metropolis Pack 1 set.

The featured building that's lit up there is my 100 story vintage city building I built.



Speaking of which I think I'm going to add to the 30's Metropolis pack and build some new buildings for V2. I want to see a lot more skyscrapers and city buildings in this city section.

Building you some new buildings for your route.


At the moment I'm working on the two models of these.

Since the buildings appear as a solid and blockes out view of anything behind it, or inside it.


Not necessarily ...

A building can be made fully 3D, with transparent windows and animated bits and pieces inside it, just like you would do for a loco cab or a coach interior, there's no difference.
