A Tiny Bit Sidetracked...

While doing some more sorting of the DKS Collection in advanced preparation for bringing it all to Altoona, I came across a kit in a drawer. Unlike all the other kits I've been handling, this one was much smaller. As a matter of fact it's actually a T-gauge kit.

Why I decided to build it, I have no idea.

It's not like I have a need for it or anything, but it was there in front of me and I was kinda itching to do some modeling. DKS gave me the go-ahead, and it was his tools and glue and extra acetate that I used, plus he supplied the track. But nonetheless I'm very close to having a completed project for the first time in awhile. I might even decide to make a little diorama out of it once I'm done installing the window frames, adding lights, and then putting the roof on.

Hey, this should be posted in the T-scale section!
 :D
But seriously, that is tiny (thanks for the obligatory dime size reference)!  Nice!

You know, sometimes it's fun to just do a project just for fun. Stick it in a little glass dome or something!

I was thinking the same thing...  And I'll be freshly returned from an extended vacation, so mine will already be smoldering...

I'm glad I chose the title that I did, because we've gone well off track from what this thread was supposed to be about.

No, I just like the fact that the title is also fitting for the outcome of the thread.

I also see what you did there in that title. "Tiny bit", as in T-scale.  :D

Alternate version:

Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

That reminds me, I need to add a magnifier visor to my Altoona wish list.  These reading glasses are not cutting it anymore.
