TOO COOL!
Wow - that last one is a beauty belg!!!!
I like the rusted roof as well Chris. I think that's the kind of thing that, if you think about, you can almost figure out on your own. Water pools lower down on the roof, or in depressions etc.
Love this thread!!!

Now I know where the name 'fretsaw' comes from. Thank you, Jim.
Hmmm... Or was it the other way round ad 'fretwork' stems from fretsaw?
And anyway: What has all this to do with 'fret'? (Perhaps when somebody fretted and fumed when sawing out all this stuff???)
Now in earnest: I like that picture with this lonely house - in my mind I hear somebody playing the banjo. Great shot!

Thought you might get a kick out of this - it's from the Online Etymological Dictionary
fret (v.) - O.E. fretan "eat, devour" (in O.E., used of monsters and Vikings; in M.E., used of animals eating), from P.Gmc. compound *fra- "for-" + *etan "to eat" (cf. Du. vreton, O.H.G. freggan, Ger. fressen, Goth. fraitan). Figurative sense of "irritate, worry, eat one's heart out" is c.1200. Modern Ger. still distinguishes essen for humans and fressen for animals.
fret (n.) - "ornamental interlaced pattern," c.1386, from O.Fr. frete "interlaced work, trellis work," probably from Frank. *fetur (cf. O.E. fetor, O.H.G. feggara "fetter") perhaps from notion of "decorative anklet," or of materials "bound" together. The other noun, "ridge on the fingerboard of a guitar," is c.1500 of unknown origin but possibly another sense of O.Fr. frete.
No mention of fretsaw/fretwork though.

No, the frets are manufactured somewhere else, and delivered by..what else....a fret train....
OK, I'll go to my room now.
This is the steam factory here at Cobblers Knob. I have and can get some closer up detail shots, if anyone wants to take oin this modeling monster of a project. Make a heck of an interesting industrial layout building.
This one still stands in the old Lafayette Monon Yards:
