Hey we skipped a week! Oh well let me start us off this week. This project started out as the DPM Seymour Block. Now it's Ralph's Mens Wear and Gary's Hobbies & Toys. Again, modified to hug a wall.

Nice building Gary!

Barry, I had the AFX Woody years ago. I don't think the one in Gary's photo is not a slot car to my knowledge, but could be. I love woody's of all kinds...

The woody looks like one of those pull-back-and-go cars to me, I don't know the proper name for it.

That's a cool Shell station, Mike! The Germans must be more obsessed with their cars than we are here in the States, since they refer to car repairs as "nursing!"

That is a cool little service station. Is that a early GTO in the garage?

My BOTW is this little orange building that I pulled out of my scrapbox to make a new engine fuel and sand facility. I have no idea who made it or even where I got it. I think it is Japanese but anyway it just seemed right for this project

Mad looking locomotive. Strongly resembles some of the
things that came out of N de M shops: pieced together
locomotives out of wrecks and worn out units.
