Thanks, Jonathan. That building is an interesting story. I actually built it
over a year ago; I originally built it to appear on the GMLTC layout, but
another building ended up taking its place:

Your assessment is precisely the effect I was after-- nothing fancy, just a
plain, drab, backdrop building. The original idea was to create a plain
building that wouldn't compete visually with the impressive GMLTC train station
(which was in the foreground)

lol I didn't really want to use pink, but I thought it worked well with the
sand green and I *had* it but didn't know what to *do* with it (so I used it:-)

Well spoken, my Ashcan friend. We are of one mind here!

lol my misnomer. I *literary* meant brown stones (ie the brown buildings:-) My
buildings are more of the type of having a business on the first floor, and
apartments above. Front stairs eat up real estate, and my idea was too make
these as thin as possible.
Thanks for the comments, brother;-)
