Just brilliant:



Did you wire the tunnel so that the light shines through the windows in the small houses?

What are you using for roadbed, Christopher? Looks like some sort of rubberized material, but not the kind that seats the cross-ties...

Found this little Flyer 3008 on eBay recently:



Needed it for a small set I've been trying to cobble together. For whatever reason, it's been tough to find one retaining most of its paint.

I'm using the woodland scenics roadbed. IDK if I'm going to use it on the inside track - it doesn't really give that much of a pronounced slope for the ballast & is kind of $$. The inside walls of the tunnel are solid so the light doesn't shine through. I had to move the tunnel over the weekend as I extended the 2nd main & I feel it kind of gets lost where it is now, but didn't really have much of a choice.
