The tallest building is B. Lipnick Supply Company, built in 2015 from an Altoona Model Works kit.

Mel, seeing your layout in the recent run this was the building I was drawn to. I really like the design and was curious to know what exactly it was built from. Very cool and thanks.
First photo shows framework of the model which is made from large pieces of laser-cut masonite. The material is dense, hard, strong and precision-cut. Easy to assemble with yellow carpenter's glue. The framework is covered with milled clapboard sheets made from basswood - as shown in second photo. Plastic window frames. A good quality kit, although I made some minor modifications, such as the rooftop skylight. Water tank kit is an optional extra. If you have further questions or need help, send e-mail.
