I had a corner on my layout that I did'nt want to "close in" with just another building, so I built a car shop with an "open view" to it.

HI John,

As always, you have great pics and ideas. Thanks for sharing them with us.

BTW, if you haven’t check out this weeks Sunday Photo Fun, look at the cars on my layout.

OK John,
I check with the boys and they said OK. They just have to decide which gang wants to bet you, the McD’s or the DQ gang.




some of the boys didn’t want to leave their best girl home on a Saturday night



But you have to be careful, as you know who is just down the street





(really, someday I have to fini***his thing)
