Nightfall at Dawson Station

A friend suggested I work on the lighting a bit. Here is what resulted.

The Arduino can now control the overhead light with a relay (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUGm6SOmj2g). There are lights in the house and on the end of the loading shed and mill. The star of the show is Ken Stapleton's "Fire" circuit (http://www3.sympatico.ca/kstapleton3/Index.html) which flickers both a blue LED in the house to simulate TV and yellow LED in a burn barrel.

I also added some nightime audio which plays when the overhead light goes off. The frogs are from a pond near my house, and the dog barking is Mitsty the Wonder Dog, who will bark on command if food is involved.

Saw your vid on carendt.com, great stuff. This night vid, with the cricket chirp, feels so real it's kind of creepy. The man standing by the drum fire almost looks like he moved. I never thought I would see the Uncanny Valley manifest itself on a model railway, but you've done it, great job!
