The New OGR World Headquarters...?

Impressive addition  to your spectacular layout.

Thank you Brian....

Alan

The new Notch 6 studios and Madison Poster Company will be leasing space on the 15th floor.   

Seriously that is really cool Alan. Hopefully someday I can build a layout with some impressive structures like that.

Alan - Very nice job!  Just when I think that I have seen pictures of every square inch of your beautiful layout, you prove me wrong.  You are the master of modern skyscrapers.

Don't forget Ed Boyle's corporate helicopter and rooftop landing pad.

Very cool!

Alan, great job and a very impressive headquarters building indeed. 

I hope Allan got a corner office with a view.

Steve, Lady and Tex

That is very nice as well as the entire city.

Excellent!!!! Just need to add street side the OGR Logo on the side of the building and light it up!!!!! The top is excellent idea!!!!

That is an impressive structure, and a very neat city you've got.

Darn, nobody was supposed to know I had a new helicopter.  Now I will have to buy the Osprey, and they are SO noisy!

Like the new headquarters building though, as well as the rest of Alan's city.  glad we can afford the new digs now that he is our Adman

Alan, you are the man.  I have followed your layout for a long time before I first met you.  You are a big credit to the hobby and have given inspiration to members who desire to build a layout.  Many of us have been thrilled looking your pictures.  Please keep posting.

Hi Alan,

Some very impressive work you've done. The Jello mold is a great idea.

The entire structure look's great!!!!!

Thanks,

Alex

It looks great, Alan!  That's a beautiful job.

This good as I gather the multi-talented publisher must only have a fixed wing license...

You are definitely leaving large "tracks" Alan. Very nice and modern-looking in keeping with our current stinking diesel railroads.

Us coal-fired steam folks will likely have our office on the 13th floor. Are short term leases available?

"Donkey, looks like Lord Farquaad is over-compensating."

Alan - Your cityscape may be the best one on the planet.  Magnificent!

I do, however, have one burning question - Is the new OGR World Headquarters well-lit and plushly carpeted?

Pete

Looks great! Just wait till your wife looks for her copper Jello mold. No more Jello for you!

Looks great Alan. Just two questions:

What floor is your office on (and please don't say 13th because most skyscrapers don't have a 13th floor, and

Who's your liability insurance with, so that when I come to visit.........

Gerry

Beautiful!

That McD's has some primo real estate

Fabulous!   I'll bet "The Donald" himself would be envious!

Another beautiful building.   Really captures the Art Deco skyscraper look.  The use of the Jello mold was a brilliant moment of thinking outside the box. 

Those kits are commanding a high price on eBay.   Too bad they are no longer made.

I would think that a similar Art Deco skyscraper modular wall system from OGR would sell well, though I'm sure the startup cost would be high.

Korber is offering a nice 32" tall laser cut kit, but it is a flat, not a full building.

Bob

Great looking building to add to an already great layout.

Ya Got to love it!

Wonderful work Alan....

Just fantastic.

Outstanding Alan. Wish I could just drop in and check it all out. Unfortunately it is 1,390 miles down the street. Someday perhaps we can work something out.

Oh, I doubt it. If such were the case, with the unbelievable number of items Alan has used in his custom made structures, his house would be bare. He has a tremendous imagination of looking at practically anything and figure out how to turn it into an addition to his layout, or part of something he is building. (Besides, his wife is a co-conspirator and solid supporter.)

Alan's ability can rub off, and if you are alert when you visit him, you may also start using totally non-related items on your layout.

Thank you, Alan!

Alex

Looks GREAT!!! Wondered where all those Skyline parts I've been chasing had gone!!!! I plan on using them for a building flat on my layout.

Alan,

Do you have any how to's for your skyscrapers?

It really ought to be an article in a magazine. Alan, meet Allan.

Gerry

Derek....only on the 15th floor???  That is half way...might as well go to the top for the nose bleed!!

Art...Thanks so much...I enjoy your layout too and hope to see more of it in some updated pictures soon!!

MartyE...Ed is afraid of helicopters...the last one he was on, the rubber band broke!!

Thanks Greg...

Not sure what the next comment meant but reading carefully the body of the post after the title, no doubt...this tower is only the marketing headquarters, southern division and does not take the place of the "real" headquarters on Jim P's layout..

Steve...thanks!  Allan gets any office he wants...he gets the view of the train yard!!

Don...thank you...I am now working on a gold glass tower which will be circular in shape and will add more to the skyline of the city.

Don K...thanks!....I have the small OGR Miller sign that I am going to use so great idea..I will take it!!

Paul...thank you very much..!

Ed...we are installing the helipad and extra rubber bands outside your new marketing office...

Alan

Amazing.  Great addition yo the skyline.

Marty F....Your statement means so much to me...you are a Dear Friend and I owe you so much.  Talk about an inspiration...they don't come any better than Mr. Marty!!  Can't wait to see you at York...and by the way...you and Dotty need to be at the Grand Stand meeting...

Alan

Alex M.  Thanks you so much my Friend.  Coming for one of the master builders....that means a lot.  I should have asked you if I was supposed to take the jello out of the mold first before I used it....

Zeke...thanks..and by the way, the pictures of the color you painted your trackwork is spot on.  Looks perfect to me!

Sam...Perfect pad for outside of Ed's new "pad"...

Dewey...thank you very much!  We don't have a 13th floor so we will put you on the 14th and the lease is free for you my friend!   By the way, a lot of art deco skyscrapers existed before the end of steam so this building would fit in both late steam and early diesel. 

Alan

LLKJR...don't know what to say other than...yep, skyscrapers sometimes can be interpreted as certain manifestations...

Pete...wow!  Nice compliment but I don't think my cityscape is up to that kind of level...but I appreciate it...thanks!  By the way, the windows will be copper tinted and illuminated...but alas, Rich didn't give me enough in the budget for carpet!!

BLT...thanks!...but I fooled the wife..cause the Jello is still in the mold...whoops!

Gerry...OGR ran out of money in the budget to supply me with an office...but we are hiring you as our corporate attorney and your office will be right next to Ed's, near the helipad so that you and he can make a quick getaway if needed...

Alan

She's a beauty Alan..   One of many...  What a beautiful layout!! You would think the McDonalds and Mels Drive Inn would be out of place between those skyscrapers but it works so well.. Awsome display!!

Surefire....thanks and you are correct.  The McD's is in fact occupying expensive real estate.  The high rises have been moving in but Mickey D's is still there.  It would not surprise me if they take an office in the new tower and sell the land for a tidy profit!

Mike...thank you and in fact, The Donald has an office on the top floor..

Bob...thank you very much!  I started collecting the American Skyline kits back in the mid 1990's and was fortunate to have accumulated a lot of them...a bunch!!  They make a very nice building and lend themselves to customizing, etc.  By the way, I purchased two of Korber's tall flats and they are absolutely excellent.  Have one of them built and on the layout. 

Spence...thanks!!

PCRR/Dave...thank you!

Jason...Thanks so much!  Come over and run your Hi-Levels...

John...Thanks and I am counting on you and I getting together over here some day...lets make is sooner than later!  Hey..there are only 66,720 scale miles between us
