    White decals?

    I can get you EPSes, SVGs, or AI files for the vectors. The PDFs I'm thinking about selling will contain bitmaps at ~250DPI or better, not vectors, as I've discovered that a full sheet of dozens of scaled vectors makes for a gigantic PDF file.

    White decals?

    PM me if you see any vector files you'd like. Still trying to figure out the best way of monetizing this bucket of logos I've got on my hard drive. I'm thinking about selling PDFs that are ready to print for $.99 each.

    I wonder if it would be possible to print old Formica patterns at HO scale and have them turn out. Think I'm going to try that later today. I'll print, scan, and upload the results.

    Pfft. Where are the oilcloth tablecloths? C'mon man! :D Seriously, though, that's pretty impressive stuff. Do I see a spigot on that coffee urn? Geez.

    Cat problem

    Yep. You usually can't alter a cat's behavior, best you can do is redirect it.

    Cat problem

    Not quite sure what your setup is, but the best option may be to make it difficult for the cat to get on the layout. Which may be hard because there is much on a layout to fascinate a cat, meaning multiple attempts to figure out how to get on that oh so interesting layout. If the cat is hopping...

    pictures of train yards

    Here are a couple shots of the BNSF yard in Sioux Falls, SD, from March '98. It's a smaller yard, well off the main lines. I also have quite a few shots of the buildings around this yard.

    Ho scale printable buildings?

    I've got the Ohio House Motel model from this site sitting in my entertainment center. I think it's a nice balance between good detail and simple construction. www.buildyourownchicago.com/ http://www.buildyourownchicago.com/free.html
