Thanks for the fix. The fire looks great - like something to cozy up to.
Best, David Meashey
A very fun project, Mark!
You might also consider using a few different bi-color flicker LEDs, which randomly change state. When positioned together they can be quite effective.

This is the passenger depot in our local town from the 1920s I think.
I have started modeling it adjusting it for size to fit there area I have available.
These are the brackets under the overhang.
This is what I came up with for the brackets on my model.

Mark,
You gotta go with the seamed roof. Easy to do with PVC board or coroplastic.
Mind you that is just a tower and not a station but same effect.

Very nice. What is the material? Didi you make a jig, or just hand bending by eye?
I was thinking seamed roof. I have done that with aluminum cans on the farm house (green with the Awestruck cans for the roofing).
Aluminum flashing, I used a paper cutter to cut strips of aluminum and bent it around dowels, glued with E6000. They probably will not be exactly alike but I think they will be close. I get some more done I will post a picture.

Sure get the ins and outs of building into the mix 
Mark, you’re on fire! At the rate you’re going you’re going to have to acquire more land for the town to annex.
I may have to figure out a way to enlarge the town.
Done. Standing seam roof made from cans and cement pad made with plastic, primed, sprinkled masonry sand on it while wet then painted it gray. Just set it out temporally to get the wind vane pointing the right way.
