A while back, a couple of Gauge members posted pictures of a deer hangin' out on top of a boxcar ( http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=26519&highlight=deer ). I thought that ranked right up there among the craziest things I ever did see. Surely that doesn't happen very often but tonight on my way home from work, I looked down at the railyard in passing and what did my wondering eyes see? Another darn deer looking back at me.

Great pics this week from everyone. WOW, we are on page 4 of this thread already. This Photo Fun thread is getting better week after week.
I just finished this Downtown Deco hydrocal kit. I thought, I could do it in 2 or 3 days, but I nearly worked on it for a week to give it that dirty, run down look.

Deano, I don’t mind at all – it’s your layout. I am really looking forward to see, what you make of my humble sketch.

Kurt, beautiful job on that kit. I especially like the colour of the brickwork, but everything ties together so nicely, too. Are the doors and windows part of the main castings, or are they separate plastic detail parts?
