hey emeraldisle - There's a rain delay on the Indy race and I thought I'd jump back on and take this opportunity to thank you for the link back to the topic you started awhile back : "The House of Ill Repute". I must have missed that topic when I moved from NC to GA during that timeframe. As I was reading the posts I was configuring a diorama in my head, and now I've got the sketch pad out. I've even got a name selected for such an 'establishment' to be placed on my layout. It's to be called " Lackanooki?'s ". I am going to use Downtown Deco's "Addams Ave. Part Four" along with Bar Mill's "Wicked Wanda's" in a seedy, somewhat abandoned looking commercial part of town, and arrange the structures so that additional patrons of Wanda's ( " Lackanooki's? " ) can find a 'room' upstairs, and around back of the "Bottom's Up Bar", as modeled in the Downtown Deco kit.. I'll have to add a metal staircase and 2nd floor door and landing on the rear of the "Addams Ave. Part Four" structure so that the real seedy stuff will only be visible to those who know where to look. Have to be a bit discrete. Why did that topic just stop? Was it shut down by the Forum cops? It was a great topic string worth revisiting ! Thanks for the inspiration for yet another project diorama, like I need another one! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boy it's muggy today. I live north of Hotlanta in the foothils and at least there usually is a breeze. My basement remains at approx 66 degrees without turning on the AC or heat-there's a separate HVAC system for my shop and mrr room in the basement and i've yet to have to turn it on. Yesterday I was in Blue Ridge, GA and was looking over a Geep owned by the Georgia Northeastern, and used by the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. It was 'parked' in front of the restored L&N depot used by that tourist line. Everyone was gone, and yet I heard a loud 'clicking' or 'sparking' sound coming from behind the cab of the Geep - it sorta sounded like electical arcing of contacts of some kind, or the sound of an arc welder.. Any ideas what it was? The tourist operation was shut down for the evening, so I couldn't locate anyone on the property. BILL
