I have completed another building to include in the MichLTC portion of the
ILTCO layout planned for the NMRA 2007 National Train Show to be held in
Detroit on July 28 - 30th.
This MOC is a model of the Griswold Building, a midrise structure designed by
architect Albert Kahn in 1929. It primarily uses old brown and old light gray

Just stunning. Great details and excellent use of colors, both old and new.
Another thing I really like about this is that it is not a huge skyscraper. It
is the type of building, in my view, that will be on a layout but not
necessarily be the main focal point. But, if it weren’t there, you’d surely
miss it. I think buildings like this are the heart and soul of a layout.
Greatly looking forward to seeing this in person.
Excellent work, as always.
best,
Jonathan
