I have completed a project that I began about 3 years ago-- constructing buildings for the TCLTC layout. All of the buildings that will appear on the layout can now be seen here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6920 Some highlights include: 1. Pink trimmed sand green building 2. Maersk blue building! (A lucky score I happened into:-) 3. New dark red building (converted from an ordinary red one I had already built) 4. Large gray building 5. Handsome brownstones (my favorites) In all, there are 7 new building MOCs, making the total 21 (IIRC). Enjoy. JOHN

Hey john, I have been watching your brickshelf folders for a long time watching your layout come together. I must say it is great resource for ideas and inspiration.
