Lovely!  My favorite section is the two pictures of the children on the stoop and the balcony.  One little boy is so excited he's climbing the rails - that little detail just absolutely makes the picture and says a lot of story and personality.

You must have been collecting for a while to have all these Victorian-era children like that drummer.  My Victorian town seems strangely devoid of kids since I started fairly recently and keep getting outbid in ebay.

ETA:  I'm a boy and everytime I talk to a clerk at the train store re wiring stuff they all sound like Charlie Brown adults: wokowokowoooowoo (that's all I hear  ;D ).  So now I just use Photoshop to add colored lights as needed.  No wiring and I can "Save As" many different colored versions.

Thanks  :)

Yep, I got most sets of my Victorian collection when I was a kid and my main focus was always the clicky children. I customized them a lot, and 'butchered' some of them in the process - a bit of a pitty.

Nice to hear it's not just me  :)  I do plan to upgrade my Photoshop skills. I've become better at the diorama and picture making stuff over the years, mainly thanks to this forum and trying out other people's creative solutions.
