In fact the train "pushes back" automatically into the dead end track and then runs forwards, one hopper every 10 seconds, to simulate the loading process. We need video!

In about 2 months, when the layout will be "almost" finished ... The "upper" part is OK, the carnival too, I will begin working on my "construction company" and then fix the buildings in the town ; and then put more than 100 vehicles and 500 figures !

The next step : the switching power supplies have been mounted under the plate. From left to right : 9V for the turnouts ; 12V for the motors (engines maximum 10V due to several diodes, and via Zener diodes the merry-go-rounds about 4.5 to 5V) ; 5V for the processors (main controller and merry-go-rounds). All circuits are galvanically "separated" (via opto-couplers and relays).
Meanwhile a perforated presspahn plate has been screwed under them, to avoid touching the mains connections (on the left of the first picture).
Now I will make the connections for the fun fair.

More than 45 are already on the platforms. Add the people who will be waiting for busses, at the entrance of the cinema ... And 20 in front of a church, for a marriage ... The workers at the freight depots, factory, gravel plant and construction company, visitors for a car collectors meeting, the funfair and concert in the park. The number increases fast ! At least 250, sure ! I calculated with the total stock I bought.

Action scenes! Real World scenes! The road construction scene are the unique eye catchers.
What are the 2 wood blocks, in front of big building? Module covers? Lighting?

Jeff, I believe You mean the post of Dec 17 ? In fact, they are holders for a "cage", to cover the layout with a piece of fabric, to avoid that it could lay on the scenery and damage it. Look at post from May 6, 2019, page 3 of this thread, You see the whole system mounted.

Waiting for the opening of the checkout at the cinema :
About 50 figures were used, including those near the cars. They are a mix of "Laszlo" 's and Märklin. To those people who are surprised to see a french "2CV" in the front, right : I read that in the movie "American Graffiti" one of the youngsters owned such a car ...
