The flashing LED’s are a welding-simulator kit from Model Train Software [LINK] sidebar). There are 3 of them in blue, white and run on either a 9v cell or a wall-wart. Cost $9.00. The intermittant flashing of the LED’s very realistically simulates the film projector’s flicker and the arc-light used to project the movie.

Buffalo Drive-in

Here’s our H-O drive-in module under construction. As the weeks progress, we’ll be adding scenery, automobiles, figures, fences, track and trains and adding this module to our H-O layout. We’ll provide closeups, photos for backgrounds, and video showing you how to do it.

This site will contain links to the artwork and CAD and scenery software used to construct the Buffalo Drive-In, and a link to our video “The Buffalo Drive-In” where you can get a DVD to play on screen.

It contains old-time drive-in countdowns, ads, and coming attractions as well as 3 vintage railroad films for your railroading and viewing enjoyment. Check back often. – DR–
