Photographs of the structures and details of George Sellios' - Franklin & South Manchester Railroad.
This thread will contain the photographs taken of Franklin & South Manchester Railroad in April of 2016. The thread is intended as a modelers reference so the individual structures and details will be indexed to help in researching the work of George Sellios. A cross reference to the original F&SM thread "The Franklin & South Manchester Railroad - it's all about the details!" will also be included for the structures documented in both threads.

We are going to start are new tour of the F&SM at the door as you walk into the room that houses the layout. When we visited in 2013 the wall on the left side of this narrow hallway was black curtains. George has added a new section along the aisle way that greets the visitors as they enter the room. The town is called Wellington - George got the name from a near-by New England town.

Thanks - I hope they will do George's work justice. I took about 80 percent of the pictures with my I-phone and the rest using my SLR with a new 50mm lens which has much better light gathering than my old one. I took three exposures so I can either pick the one I like best or combine them. This is one of the reasons the picture count is so high but looking at the pictures I think it was worth it.
The next two structures will be identified as the Downtown Building, and W. A. Slater Company

You've gifted us another great thread, John. Thank you! I need to get out east and see it soon. Does George still have monthly open houses. I'd bite the bullet and fly out there if I could coordinate it with the school calendar. Thanks again!

My understanding is that George will be having an open house 1 Saturday a month April - October even during his "retirement". Give George a call to get the latest schedule. You have to see this layout in person - pictures don't do it justice. I can tell you that he is planning new expansions. It was three years between my last two visits and there were many changes.
Thanks! 👍🏻
Here is a distance view of the Muddville area.

George told us that the back drops are those made by Kingsmill. They are no longer in business. George made them come alive by adding exterior details like pipes and exhaust vents, thus giving them the three dimensional look.

One of the suggestions that was made during our visit to the F&SM is can we find a way of locating the structures on the layout. A few years back, 2010 to be exact, the Model Railroad Hobbyist published an article on the changes to the F&SM at that time. I took a picture of their sketch of the layout and added grid labels so we can identify a particular area on the layout. So here it is: Yes - it's big and you have to use the scroll bar. It's a big layout and when I make it small enough so you don't have to use the scroll bar you can't read it. The original article is a good one and you should go back and read it, March/April 2010 issue. I hope known one has a problem with me using it here.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-090416194123.jpeg) (http://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-090416194123.jpeg)
So the area we are looking at Muddville and Wellington, are at 12 D, E for Muddville, and 12 F, G, and H for Wellington and Wellington Industrial. The grid on this diagram is 2x2 so we have covered about 12 foot of the hallway at this point. Study the diagram and I think this will work. Anyway, as we move around the layout I will call out the Grid coordinates on this layout map. I will also add the coordinates to the index for future reference.
Here is a link to the Model Railroad hobbyist magazine if you haven't seen it:
http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com
It is a free download - I get an email and download it to my iPad every month. It's the least I could do since I used their diagram.
In front of the Portable Fire Escape Warehouse we have Wellington Tower Number 2.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-080416225644.jpeg)
George has detailed the interior of Tower Number 2. Let's take a look inside.

We have one more unnamed structure and then the Lionel Train Building on the right toward the aisle.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-090416225655.jpeg)
George has this add on the building facing the hall way.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-090416225824.jpeg)

John,
The Grid Map is a very good idea. It gives us the ability to actually better visualize where the structures are on the layout.
Tom ;D
I have several photos of the area John is showing. As he mentioned, this area is in the entry hallway to the F&SM. I had a hard time getting my camera adjusted to the lights here and I couldn't get the yellow out of my pictures.
John's photos of this area are wonderful. I switched cameras and came back to this area but didn't take photos of the area he is showing now.
I'll post photos as he moves further down the hall.
Great stuff here John.

The lighting in this area is a really nice affect when you see the F&SM in person - it is a challenge to photograph. I used - very long exposure times. Even the iPhone needed a tripod to get a good shot.
I'm making a small correction to the documentation on the pictures tonight - the area to the left of the door as you walk into the layout is not part of Wellington - it is called Muddville.
Isn't that where Casey struck out?
The next building in our row is the Pee Gee Paints Building.

The next structure is the Franklin & South Manchester RR Freight Offices. George calls this area of the layout East Franklin.

Another view of the H. Car & Company and the back side of the F&SM Freight Offices. George told me the F&SM Freight Offices were scratch built by him using illustration board material.

The next structure is the Railway Express Agency.

The loading dock is highly detailed with interior detail that takes you farther into the scene. George's talent for creating depth is on display in this area.

At this point George has added a second level to the layout which quickly becomes the main level as we go around the corner to Franklin.

At this point we start to go around the corner into the main layout room. The bridge to Franklin Square comes in to view. This is were you usually find George giving "Tommy" instructions between greeting his guests at open houses. Thom and George have a great working relationship. Thom does a lot of the work on the locomotives and helps George with the layout. As I rounded the corner on this visit here is what was going on. Our own Dan "Raymo" is listening in and looking at the stick I have the camera mounted on - George is going to kill you when he sees that is the caption that should go over Dan. More on the stick latter.

As we turn the corner, the F&SM Picture count is at 1588. As we make our way around the layout again, George asked me to see if we could get an estimate on the number of structures on the layout. We are going to give it a try using our grid on the layout map. At this point the structure count is at 33. I will be updating these counts as I update the index.
Tom - Thanks for posting the overall shots - it really helps to be able to locate each of the structures. I had the camera all setup for the closeups and never went back and took pictures of the overall scene in this area.
John,
You are very welcome. Thank you for all the close ups. I was worried about my time at the F&SM so I concentrated on the overall shots. It's a great partnership.
I have to admit though, I did't even see the second story road in your most recent post. I was surprised to see the photo and wondered how did, "I miss that"?
Then I realized I was just so over whelmed being there the first time. I probably missed much more. Gives me something to look forward next time.
Tom ;D
Before we move around the corner I need to explain about "the Stick". Last summer I was sitting on a park bench in London, England waiting for my wife to finish looking at all the dead kings. I was watching all the kids running around using selfie sticks to take their own picture with a famous landmark in the background. For those of you that have been their Big Ben was right behind me. So being a true model railroader, I'm looking at this and thinking what great pictures I could take of the Franklin & South Manchester if George would let me use a selfie stick to mount my cameras on. I bought one when we got back and took some test pictures on my layout to see how well it would work.
In the weeks that proceeded this visit to the F&SM, I explained the selfie stick to George and he said he would take a look at it when a got their. George it will be like sending a 1:87 scale drone up the streets of Franklin taking pictures, I said. Thom will appreciate my efforts in explaining a selfie stick to George - the guy that still uses a typewriter to write his kit instructions.
In the coming months we are going to take a new look at the F&SM from the eye of a drone - it worked.
Tom commented about missing the upper road in East Franklin. I have been to the F&SM about 6 times and I'm seeing many things in these pictures that I never saw before.
Here is a selfie of me and George explaining how this was going work. I'm not sure if it's a selfie when you have two people in the picture. The caption should read "how do I throw this crazy guy from Michigan out of here".
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-150416135319.jpeg) (http://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-150416135319.jpeg)
My thumb is on the trigger that is connected to the camera through blue tooth. I could also zoom in and out with the touch of a button.
Here is one more selfie (the last selfie I will probably ever use the stick for) of the process. Caption reads: where are my elbows, were is the camera, hold the camera still, did I get a shot of all four sides of this structure, don't hit anything. George was behind me watching the pictures on the display saying, "I forgot that was even there". He was sold and I spent two wonderful days photographing the layout with both my iPhone and the SLR. If you look close in the video that Frank Baker took you will see some action shots of the these pictures being captured. I'm happy to report, in two days of shooting, we had only one missed place elbow that didn't result in any damage.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-150416140157.jpeg) (http://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-150416140157.jpeg)
This was some serious work. I really had to get into the zone and not pay attention to anything else.
I should also report that I was one sore guy after doing this all day. I'm sure glad the pictures turned out good.
A special thanks to the photography crew - Everyone will be adding pictures as we make are way through the layout.

Bob, Tom, George, Thom, Frank and Jaime. Thanks for all your help.
Also, a special thanks to Hal Reynolds who provided a backdrop to hid me when we took the pictures of the dark side of the structures. Yes, George details the back of the structures. You will see it in the pictures and the video.
It was fun seeing the Big People interspersed with the trains on Frank's train-eye videos.

The big people were having a lot of fun.
This time around I'm going to breakup the F&SM into sections using the layout map. We will go around the layout starting in Muddville and will cover all the sections in an area before moving on to the next section. So Franklin will start with tower 1 in section R 11, we will then move to R 10 and R 9 then move over a section and do Q 9, Q 10, and Q 11 etc. Remember that each section is 2 feet square so we can have a number of structures within a section. We will work our way around the benchwork in this pattern. We will see if we covered the whole layout with pictures. As we come to a particular structure, we will look at all the photographs I have from every angle then move on to the next structure as we did in the previous thread. I will also post a reverence page if you want to refer back to the previous thread for a particular structure. The index will not only serve as a guide to find our favorite structure, but will also give us a structure count. At least until George changes something. My guess is that it has already happened. Now, I know how to sort the pictures. Let the sorting begin. Posting to follow.

As we pull into Franklin the first structure is this tower with interior detail.

On the F&SM even the vehicles are highly detail models. This car is complete with passengers. I understand that this is the work of our own Dan Raymond. There are very few modelers that have their work displayed on the F&SM RR. Good work Raymo!
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-160416173413.jpeg) (http://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-160416173413.jpeg)
We hit another landmark with this last picture. Picture number 1600 on the F&SM threads.
Great work John.

The red one is mine. The grey one is a diecast that came out a few years back, not sure of the manufacturer.
This is the car I built on the old forum. I feel Blessed George liked it enough to be put on the F&SM.
Here's a close up of the detailed signal tower.

You can see Raymo's red vehicle on the bridge in the upper right of the photo. This is a good bird's eye view of the tower below in relation to the bridge.

Lots of vehicle traffic in the bridge area.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-170416101906.jpeg)
Kudos! to you Raymo, You do excellent work as usual. Notice it's right up front on display like it should be. That's not an accident. George talks about what others have done on the layout all the time. You-da-man! T...
I spent a good part of the day and night yesterday sitting in airports and on airplanes. I have sorted lots of pictures and will be posting them this week. Please stay tuned - today I will not be doing much sitting - I'm suffering from layout withdrawals and sleeping on an airplane syndrome.
John,
I know your pictures will be fantastic and we'll be happy to wait.
Tom ;D
On the other side of the bridge George has this wonderful highly detailed news stand as part of the lower level of Franklin Station.

Fred & Ethyls is gorgeous, the whole layout of course is fantastic , but I especially love the smaller buildings and scenes.
The Franklin station area is one of my favourite.
thank you.

John got some great behind the scenes, actually behind structure, photos. I didn't get many of this area mainly due to George hanging out here on this corner. I did get many wide angle shots of the area.
John was very astute in getting each structure up close.

More pictures of Maxwell's Bicycle Works can be found on page 12 of the The Franklin & South Manchester Railroad - it's all about the details! (http://modelersforum.com/index.php?topic=742.0) thread.
Here is an overall view of Franklin in this area - Maxwell's is the large building on the top left.

Beautiful. Definitely some angles I've never seen before!
John
Agree with John....the different angles definitely show more details and views then I've never seen.
Thank you, John, for your continued hard work in keeping this thread going! And thanks again for your help in my project.
Talk to you later.
John has been to the F&SM in the past. When he goes back, he has definite ideas of what he wants to get photos of. I know what he has in his photo cache and I'm telling you folks it will only get better. He has shots of thing that can't be seen from the isles.
He close ups of each structure are wonderful.
I, on the other hand, was a neophyte visitor to the F&SM. I was just thrilled to be there and meet George. What a fantastic host and very humble. It was all I could do to just keep my drooling on my shirt and not on his models.
Thank you George, John and Thom for making it all happen.
Tom ;D ;D

Well I stopped by George's yesterday I was surprised to find the new Expo reefer wasn't looking so new.
"Nothing stays new looking too long on the Franklin & South Manchester RR."

Thanks for pictures Hal. It looks like that reefer has seen some hard duty in the past month.
The last structure we need to cover in section R 11 is Murphy's Pool Hall which is just across the street and down the hill.

Raise your hand if you'd buy F&SM decals to letter a car running on your railroad!
(I'd rather have the decals than a complete car, so I could letter something on my 1890s era layout.)

Murphy's ( set 3) just in case we missed an angle or detail.

Hey Dave I would be up for a set.
This is the only shot I got of the Pool Hall and it was by accident.
Thank goodness John knew what he was doing.

This time around I'm going to breakup the F&SM into sections using the layout map. We will go around the layout starting in Muddville and will cover all the sections in an area before moving on to the next section. So Franklin will start with tower 1 in section R 11, we will then move to R 10 and R 9 then move over a section and do Q 9, Q 10, and Q 11 etc. Remember that each section is 2 feet square so we can have a number of structures within a section. We will work our way around the benchwork in this pattern. We will see if we covered the whole layout with pictures. As we come to a particular structure, we will look at all the photographs I have from every angle then move on to the next structure as we did in the previous thread. I will also post a reverence page if you want to refer back to the previous thread for a particular structure. The index will not only serve as a guide to find our favorite structure, but will also give us a structure count. At least until George changes something. My guess is that it has already happened. Now, I know how to sort the pictures. Let the sorting begin. Posting to follow.

It's time to refresh our memory on what are grid looks like - we have just completed section Q 11 and we are about to move into section Q 10.

As promised here is an update of the structure count:
Muddville, Wellington, and East Franklin 33
Section R 10 12
Section Q 11 5
Subtotal 50
This post will be updated after we complete each section.
Before we go back to section Q10 and look at the structures, let's zoom back out and take a picture from the isle way.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-240416211803.jpeg) (http://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-240416211803.jpeg)
We can see Maxwell's Bicycle Works the large building on the left way up on the top of the hill. We can also see the Franklin Station Hotel green (roofing) - this is also seen closer up in the picture picture that Tom posted above. This will be our next featured structure.
But first, I want you to notice that we have three main streets that work their way up the hill in Franklin in this area.
One of the goals I had for this photo shoot was to capture what it looks like to George's little people as they walk the streets of Franklin. So before we go back to looking at the individual structures - let's take a break and look at these three streets from the vantage point of "the little people".
Can you tell where you are? Notice the green roof awnings of the Franklin Station Hotel.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-240416212953.jpeg) (http://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-240416212953.jpeg)
Here is the next street over to the right. I couldn't reach street level on this one - I only had a 4 foot arm extender. George - I'm going to be asking you if these streets have names so if they don't you can make some up before I call.

Wow, 1700 photos, that's amazing. And, I think we have that many still to go if not more.

Ditto to what Eric said....awesome!!
Hi John....I know, I know, you have literally thousands of pictures but, by chance, did you get any "street scene" pictures of the street I 'squared out'...?? That street looks really interesting (as do pretty much all of the F&SM street scenes). Anyway, just curious....
Thanks!!

Hi John
Thanks for stopping by the thread. This picture is the street you squared out. By the way I called George today and the name of this street is Houligan's Alley - like the kit George put out a few years ago.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-240416212953.jpeg)
I had a long conversation with George today. First he gave me the names for the streets in Franklin. The three streets running up and down the hill are;
Hooligan's Alley on the far left, Hill street in the middle, and Main Street on the right - the street that goes by the Franklin Garage.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-240416211803.jpeg)
George and I also discussed how he made the town of Franklin. The town was built on such a steep hill because of the sky backdrops that George had.
After deciding on the backdrops and hill George laid out the roads and put them in place. He then designed structures that would fit in each area.
Thanks again for the great photo's and info on how George builds his empire, I find it unbelievable how he puts this incredible amount of detail in such a large layout. Just the FRanklin scene you are describing now would take me years to build.

I have been to the F&SM many times and I'm seeing things in these pictures that I never saw before. One of the time consuming challenges with this group of photographs is figuring out were it is. The grid system is helping me - I hope it is helping when you view the pictures.
George made the comment yesterday that he is seeing things he forgot he had done. George told me he did the modeling work for Franklin 25 years ago.

Thanks for stopping by the thread. As they say - much more to come in the weeks/months/years ahead. I'm as out of control with my pictures as George is with the details.
Next to the Franklin Station Hotel we have two unnamed structures - the red siding structure to the right of the hotel and the gray building behind the hotel. I captured the roof line of the back structure in the pictures of Murphy's. I just couldn't reach far enough to capture the street side view of the one.

Directly to the right of the red structure we have the Jacob Lavendeck Painting Materials building.

This time around I'm going to breakup the F&SM into sections using the layout map. We will go around the layout starting in Muddville and will cover all the sections in an area before moving on to the next section. So Franklin will start with tower 1 in section R 11, we will then move to R 10 and R 9 then move over a section and do Q 9, Q 10, and Q 11 etc. Remember that each section is 2 feet square so we can have a number of structures within a section. We will work our way around the benchwork in this pattern. We will see if we covered the whole layout with pictures. As we come to a particular structure, we will look at all the photographs I have from every angle then move on to the next structure as we did in the previous thread. I will also post a reverence page if you want to refer back to the previous thread for a particular structure. The index will not only serve as a guide to find our favorite structure, but will also give us a structure count. At least until George changes something. My guess is that it has already happened. Now, I know how to sort the pictures. Let the sorting begin. Posting to follow.

At this point we are going to move all the way back up to the top of the hill and work our way down again starting with section P 11.
Our first structure in section P 11 at the very top of the hill is Clancy's Bar & Grill.

Thank you for all these great photos that are being posted.
I've visited the F&SM a few times now and each visit leaves me longing for more. The first couple of visits your mind is trying to comprehend what is in front of you.
It's as though you don't won't to be intrusive by spending too much time admiring the layout but at the same time your trying to absorb as much of the detail as you can.
That's why these photos are just wonderful. Plenty of time to admire the detail that you missed on previous visits and see what a tremendous job George has done.
Thank you all for sharing these fantastic photos of what is truly a labor of love for George Sellios.

Thanks for following the thread - we hope you continue to enjoy it.
At this point let's take a look at an overview shot of Franklin. In the center of this photograph at the top of hill is The Grocers Warehouse which is the next structure we will take a look at.

This thread is killing me. I can't help but stare at each new one. ;) The F&SM is like a quarter acre of "Best in Shows".

Cuse,
Lol, that's too funny!, but you're right! It's sick isn't it. Funny thing is, George and I every month see people come to visit with camera's, yet, camera's just don't do it full justice... One must see this insanity in person. Thanx Thom...

The eye is the mind's camera Thom
I have been getting a number of emails from folks thanking us for the pictures. I always tell them - if at all possible see this layout in person. The first 5 or 6 times I visited where before cameras were allowed, and I saw more. So this past trip I put the cameras away and spent four hours absorbing - the pictures in my mind are the best.
As we move down the hill the first structure is Alfalfa Industries.

This is what I like about George's style: that building on top of the Zecharia & Nephew is so over the top! All the stuff around the building means a guy would be walking near the edge of the roof to get around! The world pre- OSHA! I love things like this on the FSM!
Bob C
Thanks to you guys I won't need to take photo's when I finally get to visit the F&SM, I can just relax and enjoy.
Now if only there was a way to download all these photo's so I wouldn't have to go to the forum every time for reference.

Bob - I have great pictures of Zechariah & Nephew - I think it is one of the neatest structures on the layout and you just can't see much of it from the aisle way.

Thanks for following the thread. You can do a simple copy and paste of the photographs if you want to store them on you own computer. I have actually cut and pasted the complete thread so I have a backup just in case the forum goes away for some reason.
Next to Alfalfa Industries we have Samuel C. Jollie & Co.

It's time to refresh our memory on what are grid looks like - we have just completed section P 11 and we are about to move into section P 10.
Next structure is Jacob Zechariah & Nephew - I really like this structure - it is such a gem that you can't really see very well from the aisle way.

Tonight we pasted the 1800 picture mark!
For more pictures of this area see The Franklin & South Manchester Railroad - it's all about the details! (http://modelersforum.com/index.php?topic=742.0) thread pages 12 and 13.
John,
1800 mark? What is this going to be a career posting job for you? What gives? You and I were at the same layout for the same number of hours taking electronic pictures/video. I'm all done posting mine, why aren't you?
Just because your a grand pa is not excuse to being a career poster child! My grandson is 8 and is going to be 30 next Dec. I still got my post's up and even had time for a question or two.
ha. Just teasin' bro-
Incredible pictures my friend! I've been climbing those stairs for some 30 years now and I'm seeing things in your pics that make me says the words... Where the heck is that building at? or is that a new scene? I didn't notice that before. ha.
One would think at least I should recognize each pic right off with oh yeah, that's right! ha. guess I'm old now! Thanks for the memories Big J... Thanx Thom...

Hi Thom
My guess is that by the time I have all the pictures posted from this trip to the F&SM George will have changed enough to do another. I'm glad you are enjoying the pictures - even if I'm slow at posting them. ;) The video's are looking great - it is amazing how far that technology has come in the past few years.
John.....thanks for putting up a plan of the layout. I've always wondered how all those pictures you've been posting fit into the big picture. 8)

I think the grid is going to help with keeping track of where we are and we will end up with a pretty good structure count. George asked me how many structures were on the layout so we are counting as we go.

Thanks - It is a big project, but I think it is well worth the effort. I hope everyone is enjoying the pictures.
John,
The photos are incredible. I see structures I haven't noticed before.
I have many to add but I'll wait until you get to the areas where I have back up photos. If I'm fortunate enough to ever get back to the F&SM, I'll get more close ups.
Thanks for all your efforts.

Hi Tom
I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures you have to add. The stick I was using to take the pictures in Franklin really helped. I'm so thankful that George let me use it. I know exactly how you feel about taking closeups - it's the only way to capture what George has built. After I had taken all the pictures, I spent 4 hours without the camera, just taking it all in. Those photographs in my mind are the best - I get excited as I'm going through the pictures when I see something that I remember seeing for the first time. Georges layout is a tremendous inspiration for my own layout. The whole point of this project is for others to be inspired on their projects. I will keep plugging away at adding pictures to this thread a few each week.
As I get started adding pictures tonight, I want to make sure that everyone realizes that we are walking our way down Main Street. In many cases, I will be adding photographs of the backs of some of the buildings like I did with Pelky's.
As we move down Main Street the next structure is Salmon & Glickstein LTD. The downed street lamp was reported to George and repaired.

Yes - did you notice how George paints the opposite side of the vehicles and figures a different color. Great use of mirrors. There are more to come.
Moving on down the hill we have Ebenezer Griswold & Sons and a really nice waterfall.

What I find that is really something is that you can walk out of one building at ground level and then right on to the roof of the next building.
This thread might be even better than the original one, if that is possible. Pictures worth studying over and over...and I have. Thanks for taking the time and making such an effort, John. The results are SO worth it.

Thanks for stopping by the thread and I'm glad you are enjoying it. Between you and me the picture quality is going to be much better on this thread. The reason is very simple -the first time you photograph the F&SM you try to get it all and you get home and have to use digital zooms to get all the details. This time I only took a few overview pictures and the camera is capturing the details. And also, thanks to George, I'm shoot from a much better vantage point. To me it's like looking at a total different layout. Enjoy, I will be adding pictures as fast as I can but you will have new ones to look at for many months to come.
Wow , the details are incredible , like the stuco on the Masher building is astonishing.

Thanks for stopping by the thread. I have to admit that one of the problems I'm having with posting the pictures is I'm finding myself spending lots of time studying them.
John,
Pictures of George's layout are fantastic showing all the little scenes around the layout. All the different scenes really make a layout come alive. They have given me a lot of ideas that I may use in the future. Thanks for taking the time to post them.

Let's zoom out and look at an overview to see where we are. Accross the river from Porky's is fisherman's row.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-260516224019.jpeg)
The first structure in fisherman's row is the bait shop.

I assume the brick walls for Porky's Place are casts of the "Trains of Texas" brick walls I believe George used for many of the brick structures. If not, what did he use for these? Are the corner "stones" just pieces of painted paper? A really cool looking structure.

All very good questions -I have added them to my list for my next phone call to George. I know that the streets in Franklin are Trains of Texas castings.

It's time to refresh our memory on what are grid looks like - we just completed section P 9 and we are headed back up the hill to section N 11.
The first structure at the top of the hill in Section N 11 is The J. Winkie Company.

I thought I'd point out the mirror George used in extending the scene under the walkover. You can see he hides the mirror edge with the use of weeds on the left side of the sidewalk.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/24-280516103729.jpeg)
Next to Jake's is the Hotel Davenport.

And then the Maranatha Storage Company which also houses the Home of Buddy Boy Shoes. This is a large complex which starts in section N 11 and ends in section M 11. Look closely and you will see another use of a mirror.

Where does George get the cornice for buildings like the Maranatha Warehouse? Does he cast them himself?

Many times you will find that it was a cornice for one of the buildings in his FSM kits. I'm not sure with this particular cornice but I will take a look and see if I can identify a similar cornice in one of the kits. I have a couple in mind but need to confirm. I will get back to you on this one.
You can get something close to that cornice pretty easily. Grandt Line sells various size corbels. Glue them to an Evergreeen styrene angle. For the Cigar Factory, I glued a styrene 'extender' of the same thickness to the angle (so the vertical run was longer than the horizontal run) and then glued the corbels in place.

Here are three FSM kits where George used FSM Castings for the cornice moldings.

It's time to refresh our memory on what are grid looks like - we just completed section N 11 and we are headed down the hill to section N 10.
this overview shot shows the start of section N 10 and a series of structures know as Fisherman's Row.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-310516100739.jpeg)
Fishermans's Row starts with the Bait Shop which we visited in Section O 10.

Hi Steve
I didn't have a picture of the back of the Rocky Point Depot in my A pictures. I will go back through all the pictures of Franklin and see if I missed one. Stay tuned.
Here is another picture of Rocky Point Harbor from a different direction. Our next structure will be the Rocky Point Water Tower and Tool Shed on the left of this picture.

I assume the brick walls for Porky's Place are casts of the "Trains of Texas" brick walls I believe George used for many of the brick structures. If not, what did he use for these? Are the corner "stones" just pieces of painted paper? A really cool looking structure.
Jeff
Jeff
I talked to George today and he confirmed that the castings for Porky's where made from Trains of Texas brick walls. He told me that it took him days to drill and cut all the window holes. The trim and corners are made from the white card stock that George uses in his kits. Sorry it took so long to get this one answered - I have been waiting until I have a list for George before I call him. I had a number of question on the pictures I will be posting in the next few days.
Thanks for the info, John.

That index is a lot of work when you let it go to long ;) . Now back to the pictures of Rocky Point Harbor.
The next structure in Rocky Point Harbor is the Fine Scale Miniatures Building.

I just found more photographs of the Franklin area - it looks like I went back and took a few more pictures the second day I was at the F&SM. More sorting and some backtracking before we move on.
We are going to backup a little - I found some great pictures of Franklin right in the middle of my Manchester pictures. I remember now what happened. I got tired of holding the stick and went to the SLR camera for awhile then went back to Franklin after my arms were rested. I just reviewed the pictures and two steps back is going to be worth it. Stay tuned. I will make a post when I add pictures to some of the areas we have already visited. I will then continue with the pictures of the Rocky Point Harbor area.
Added Mathushek Pianos on Page 21.
Added pictures to Howard's Club page 21.
Here are a view more photos of the area John has been showing. These photos show the structure in relation to the surrounding scenery.

I just thought you might want to know that George wasn't the only one keeping an eye on me as I was taking these photographs.
I wonder what Tommy looks like to those little people living in Port Russel.

I just posted picture number 2200. Another landmark.
The next structure on the street's of Port Russel is Saulenas Tavern.

Here is a look back down the street showing the relationship of the past few structures to the Emporium Seafood which is across the street.

And now for one of the most photographed structures on the F&SM RR, the Emporium Seafood Co. - one of George's FSM kits. I have lots of pictures from many different angles - I hope I got a picture that you haven't seen yet. (Set 1).

The next time I make it out to the F&SM I want to get a room above Swee Peas Bar and Grill during my stay and try some food at Capt Frank's Seafood Cafe. I'm assuming Swee Peas and Saulenas have some good pub grub too! My kind of places and they are right next to Finescale Miniatures. Who knew?! ;D
Awesome work John!

I'm glad you are enjoying the photographs. If George starts renting rooms out at Swee Peas he may be able to pay for his retirement. I wonder if the EXPO team has considered renting it out for the next EXPO. They could put the overflow in the Hotel Davenport just up the hill.
Hi John:
WOW!!! More great pictures. This is one of my favorite areas on The F&SM.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Karl
It's one of my favorite areas too. I'm getting more pictures ready for posting.
There has always been a question in the back of my head every time I look at George's layout.....but never remember to ask....
Does George design his building footprints to fit the layout or does he just design odd angles and corners and then lay down tracks?

I'm not sure if George did it one way for the entire layout, but I know that for the City of Franklin George layout the streets and track work and then designed and built the structures to fit.

O.K. that makes sense.... Thanks
And my question: When doing one of these deep city scenes, does he work from the rear forward, completing a back street and fully detailing it before moving closer to the front of the layout?
(I guess the alternative would be to make some of the front structures removable so details could be added to those in the back.)

Like the previous question - I can answer for the town of Franklin because I discussed it with George. He started by adding all the streets which sloped up to the backdrop that he had installed. He then started in the back and worked his way toward the front. If you look at the downs of Dovertown the large buildings in back are the backdrop and George has changed the structures in front many times over the years.
The front of the layout also has more of the FSM kits. I hope this answers your question - if not let me know and I will ask George.

It's time to refresh our memory on what our grid looks like - we just completed section N 10 and we are headed up the hill to section M 11.
John,
Excellent photos brother! I really like the super rare shots of the lighthouse from the layout side looking back to the isle. Your hard work posting and listing and cataloging all the structures is really appreciated. keep up the great work boss! Thanx Thom...
John, for those keeping track of the bridges on the f&sm. The one you just showed in front of the lighthouse is a rare Steel Plate Girder Cantilevered Bobtail Swing bridge. Say that fast one time. ha. Thanx Thom...

Here are a few pictures of the documentation George has on the Rocky Point Harbor Tower Number 2. He built it from a story that appeared in Model Railroader many years ago. In his notes you will see a notation that RMC had a similar tower in a 1975 article. George pulled this information out to show us how he uses the model railroading literature to generate ideas for some of the structures on the layout. There were 20 or 30 pages of information in this folder. I post just a few here as an example. George has file cabinets full of this type of research information.

John,
Some nice pics. perhaps your viewers would like to see a couple rare redesigned under construction pics of Belverton into Chesterville. Richard took these photos for me of one of my 2-10-10-2's on George's layout. Thanx Thom...

Thanks for the construction pictures Thom. I'm always amazed how easy it is for George to cut out a section of this beautiful layout and completely change it.
I have been taking a break from this project the last couple of weeks - I needed to get some things completed on my house while the weather was good for outside projects. I will be getting back to it soon - many more pictures to sort and post as we continue our journey around the F&SM.
I spent a few hours in the gazebo last night sorting through pictures - so far I have been through 4000 of them - 1000 more to go and I will be ready to start posting again. The process is to go through and sort the pictures into regions of the layout. During this process I'm deleting the bad ones that will never get posted. After the sort into regions, I sort through and put all of the pictures of a structure in one directory. Then each picture has to be processed through Aperture to crop and export it into a size that the forum can deal with. I then upload them to the Gallery on the forum and the posting can begin.
Yes- it is a good thing a like pictures of the F&SM. Okay breaks over - back to the sorting.
Thanks for all your hard work. Jim

Jim and Donato
Thanks for stopping by the thread and the words of encouragement. I assure you I'm working hard to get the next batch of pictures ready to post.
Tonight, I've finished sorting the pictures for Chesterville and Beaver Meadows so it's time to start posting again.
As we leave Franklin and Port Russel we move through a wilderness area with highly detailed scenery and rock outcroppings.

Before we take a look at each of the structures in Chesterville lets take a look at the work train that George had parked on the siding. As far as I'm concerned, each of these work cars are a structure.

Wow - Tom has been busy posting pictures. Thanks Tom.
John,
John,
Yes, but not as busy as you. You have three times the photos I have. And, I can't wait to see all the odd angles you were able to get.
Just wonderful photos.

As we move across the mainline we have the Chesterville Tower.

Tonight, I upload F&SM picture number 2400 - another landmark.
Before we move on - I thought I would post one of the unedited photographs just for some fun. When I took the photographs of the back sides of the structures (or the dark sides for the Pink Floyd fans) I often have to crop out my arms, or one of our forum friends fingers, or someone watching to make sure nothing got hurt. Take a good look at the background in this photograph.
The title for this photograph is do you think we were being watched?
The caption should read "How did I let Tommy talk me into this?"
Actually, Tommy kept saying "I can't believe George is letting you do this".
I obviously felt George's presents and didn't hold the camera still for this one - bit bucket.

Hi John:
Great photos. Thanks for showing the ones with the Yuhudah's box car I painted for the F&SM. I printed the signs on decal paper. George did the weathering.
Karl
Are those trucks and cars on the layout Wiseman models or , did Wiseman take over that business?

I told you I would get to the Yehudah's box car, I remembered taking the pictures but had to find them as I went through the sorting process. Sorry it took so long. It looks great.

Jan
George has cars and trucks from just about every manufacturer on the layout - a number of the vehicles in this area are Jordon. Wiseman models has taken over a number of manufacturers - but Jordon is not one of them. At least not yet. The owner of Jordon died and I believe the business is in limbo right now. Can anyone fill in the holes in this story? I just took a look at Wiseman's website and it looks like they are selling some of the trucks found in this area. I believe they were originally produced by S&S LTD.
Hi John:
Thanks appreciate it.
Karl

Great catch on that road side shack. I only had one very poor picture of it.
Tonight, we are going to pass through the Wildness Area on the F&SM. Lots of great little surprises in this area. George don't let Tommy talk you into removing this area.
For those that got a chance to see all the wilderness area photographs I posted over the past week or so on this thread it was all just a dream - they where never there. I will try to get back to this thread and repost them when time permits. They all have to be reprocessed because I only save the raw pictures not the downsized versions that will fit on the forum.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say a big "THANK YOU" to John for hosting and posting all the photos for the fabulous F&SM RR. I know what he went through to get some of the never before seen pictures he has been showing on this thread.
Since he has lost a few dozen of the pictures posted here, I know he will re-post them. For those of us that do post pictures on a regular basis, it does in fact take some time to do.
So, John, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT ON THE THREAD.
Tom ;D

While John is regrouping and getting his pictures ready, here are a few I got of the wilderness area.
My main focus while at the F&SM was to concentrate on structures. I did manage to get the old abandoned bridge in as it is a structure.

Thanks for the kind words Tom. I do have backup of the cropped pictures so I just have to run them through the software called aperture that I use to size them to fit in the forum gallery. Then resubmit them to the forum gallery and the posting can begin again. I sure wish there was an easier way.
Also Tom, Thank you for posting your pictures.
The wilderness area consists of sections E11, D11, C11, B11, B10, and B9.

I'm going to cover these wildness area sections as a group and we will come back to the sections closer to the aisle way.
Let's start out with a few pictures of the pond.

John,
Thanks for reposting these pictures. I really like how George has varied the vegetation in this area of his layout. It will give me some ideas when I get to something like this on my layout. It is not all Woodland Scenic's medium size bushes. Very nice.
Very nice John.
Hi John:
Great photos. Keep em coming.
karl
Can anyone tell me where Elijah Roth & Sons is located on the layout or did George change the name of the kit when it was installed on the layout

It's next to Baxters Building Supply in Mayfield Here's a link that shows the area and Roth's near the bottom of the page.

Thanks to all that offered encouragement to keep posting the pictures. I'm working on reposting the pictures that were lost and will be moving on to new areas as soon as I do. I try to post a few pictures each week. It will take us awhile to get all the way around the layout. We have only just begun this journey.
For those that are keeping track of the count I just loaded up F&SM picture number 2500.
Here is a picture of some of the wildlife near the pond.

Your welcome Tom - tonight I will be moving into some new areas.
In the foreground of the wilderness area is Burley Farm.

looking very nice
I really love this scene, but I'm wondering if for instance the tractor shed isn't a bit too run down , you would think they would fix that roof right away because it protects their most valuable property , the tractor. I know the broken roof looks better model wise , but still ?
I see things like that up here in NH, people park their equipment in falling apart pieces of crap! Sometimes just throwing a blue tarp over the roof!

Jan
You have to keep in mind the era that George is modeling. It was the depression, and materials to fix the barn roof didn't make it to the top of the priority list. And I agree with Bob, that even today there are similar barns all over the country. Fixing the bar roof still doesn't seem to be a priority. I worked for John Deere and they design their tractors to be parked outside. It takes a lot of sun to fade that green paint.
Tom
Thanks again for adding your pictures.
The Burley Farm is in Sections D9 and D8. We are now going to start working our way through Mayfield which starts in Section D7.

Every pic of the F&SM is my "favorite"... But I really love the farm because it's so different than most of the layout and it's so uniquely done. Lots of people model farms but George, as usual, had his own dusty take on a common subject.
John
I know the farm is where George wanted it or it was the only space for the farm. I feel the farm would have looked a little better if the structures behind the farm were not where they were in direct view.
I remember when Karl O did this farm a few years ago to show what he could do scratch building it. Over on the RRlines you can serch it to see the comparison to Georges farm
Keep the photo's coming. Due to health problems I will never be able to see Georges layout & all of these great photo's serve a purpose for me to learn from

Thanks for following the thread and I'm sorry you will never be able to visit the F&SM in person. I hope this thread does justice to George's work. Like any layout, George has viewing points in mind when he places his structures. Because I was photographing structures, in many cases from angles that you would never see as a visitor, please keep in mind that I may violate George's viewing points to get a shot of a structure from a particular angle.
Karl O did a great job on his scratch build version of Burley Farm.

I thought I was the only one that had that problem. I'm getting a few more favorites ready to post.
The next few F&SM picture work sessions are going to be spent processing pictures of the Mayfield Area. I have this process down to a routine so I process the pictures for the next section first and then post them all at once. That's why the seem to come in batches. Please stay tuned!
Tonight, I'm getting pictures ready for posting for the section D7. In this section we catch the first few structures in Mayfield and a few of the structures on the other side of the peninsula which is Bedford Falls.
I'm going to stick to the format of covering the layout a section at time rather than trying to keep the structures in a particular town all in one place. I think between the section map and the index it will be easier to find a structure that way. When we have made it around the layout with this thread I will go back and cross reference the photographs in the previous thread in the index so it is easy to find all the pictures of a particular structure.
Here is a overview of Section D7 in this first picture.

Here is the view as we turn the corner and make our way into Mayfield.

Now lets concentrate on the individual structures.
Hi John:
Thanks for the great photos. I love that farm.
Karl
I love looking over each photo. I try to see what parts of different kits George has used to make a different scene. In the Farm scene I noticed that the Vegy/Fruit stand looks like it is part of the loading dock from Bailey's. Also from the farm if I am not wrong the tractor repair shed is from Barnstead Lumber. I guess if you ever build the FSM kits hold on to the templets & build something to make your diorama/scene a little bit more interesting!

I'm glad you are enjoying the thread - I do exactly the same thing when I look at the pictures. I'm building each structure in my head by putting FSM, and others, kit parts together. You will find a lot of Bob VanGelder's castings on the F&SM. I will be posting pictures of one tonight - I just got through editing it.
I'll start showing the pictures of the structures in this area when John gets to the individual buildings.

Speaking of John getting to the individual structures in this area let's get started.
The first structure on the far left in our overview picture is The Adams & Westlake Mfg. Co. I believe this is a kit bash of a CC Crow Engine House.

Tom's last two photographs are a perfect opening for our next section E7.
A quick note on Dundon's Coal - Tom's picture just above - this structure is covered in section F10 on page 35 of this thread. It's a great picture and needs to be here and Tom has no way of adding it back on page 35. It's just the way the thread works. I just mention it here for reference and to make sure you are not trying to figure out why I missed it in this section.
Oh - and yes Tom confused me and I had to go back and find it. " I must a got lost some where down the line."
Our next structure is the Smith Bros. & Burdick building.

It appears Tom was confused as well. I must have taken the picture out of sequence, thought it looked familiar. Sorry bout that.

No problem - we are happy you are sharing your pictures with us.
John,
No problem, I'm happy you are letting me list them on your thread.
Tom ;D
I'm trying to keep up with John's wonderful pictures of the same area.
I need to back track for one or two though.
Here is another view of Smith Bros. -

It's time to post some more F&SM pictures.
The first structure for tonight is the Covered Bridge. Many of the structures that are close to isle in this area were covered very well in my "Details" thread - so I will not post a lot of pictures of these structures. Please take a look at the "Detail's" thread if you are looking for more pictures of these structures.

John, Thank you very much for the photo's of the McClosky's Market/Richfield Gas Station are one of my favoriate areas on Georges layout. I know Postalkarl was involved in the building of the structures & George modified them to his liking. ***Karl builtifull work!!!***

Hi John:
Thanks for the great photos of the Richfield Gas Station I scratchbuilt from a photo for George. It is also available as A kit From Bar Mills As Bud Smiley's Gas Station.

Very nice build Karl - There is a very short list of people that have a build on George's layout.
Tom
Thanks for the additional pictures - perfect timing!
John,
Thanks, I always wait for your pictures and then I know what to post. this is a great thread. I'm even noticing things in my pictures I haven't noticed in the past.

Wow - Dave I had to google that when Karl posted his answer. Sure enough. Very cool. George has had a lot of fun naming his structures over the years.

I notice something new in every batch. I also had to call George and tell him where Tommy left his tools. For those that are wondering what this is about. Tommy gets blamed for anything that goes wrong on the F&SM. Just ask George.
We did find a grinding wheel off his Dremel.
Guys, I know I have said it before & I will say it again THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PHOTO'S!!!
I love what George did with the Church. I like many other modelers can say the 1st kit we ever built was a Campbell Kit. I hope no one will take this the wrong way about Campbell Kits quality but it is amazing how George can take a kit like that & make it look like a limited run kit with a little paint & weathering & a vine going up the side of it. Does anyone know if that kit comes with "stain glass"? Stain Glass & lighting would be a nice touch
Keep the photo's coming
Mike Sigmon
Mike,
You are very welcome. I especially like John pictures. He went through a lot to get the angles none of us have seen. To my best guesstimation, he only has a couple thousand more to post. :o :o

Funny I just looked at my "to post" directory and there are 3000 + files/pictures. I think 2000 that I will post is a good guesstimation.
Tom spell checker doesn't like your word but it works for me ;) . The big question is when - I will keep plugging along at it.
You are correct in that "guesstimation" is not a word in the sense that Webster recognizes it as such. It was a play on words based on the Guesstimation Game.
Now you know the rest of the story and we now return this thread back to JS.

I went looking for the Sandhouse kit #180 in the pictures and could not find it. Is it posted?

Marty
I'm not aware of a complete Sandhouse kit on the layout. I believe some of the individual structures may be scattered around the layout. I will be looking for them and point them out if I see them. I have the sandhouse kit on my workbench so I will know them when I see them.
Well, to go along with the discussion about how many more photographs I have yet to post, I just loaded FS&M photograph number 2700 into the gallery. I think I have about 100 photographs cropped and ready to be posted tonight so lets get started.
First, here is a few overview photographs of our next section.

Who is that guy in the background in that last batch of photographs?

Who is that guy in the background in that last batch of photographs?
That guy is the old ACL1504. When I saw photos of myself at the last Expo I was dismayed at how much weight I put on. The new ACL1504 now walks 25 miles per week and weighs 35 lbs. less. I've changed my eating habits and now eat to live and not live to eat.
Tom ;D
I'll try to get my pictures of this area up later this afternoon.

Sounds good. I have the pictures for the next section ready, but will wait until you get a chance to post your pictures of this section.
Wow- 35 pounds - good for you. I do the 5 to 6 miles a day but I guess I like to eat to much.

John,
I'll get them up late this afternoon. I'm finishing up some layout build stuff now and need to upload and crop those photos.

On the layout edge and in front of the water tank and Aunt Flo's is the Stoddart Scrap Dealer.

Our first structure is Baxter Building Supply. This is another FSM kit. I took many photographs of this model because of the many textures and materials used in it's construction.

Thanks for the additional pictures Tom. Tonight, I'm editing and sorting the pictures for our next section. I hit the point where I left off with the picture sorting so it will be a few days before I get back to posting again.
The next two sections will be done together J8 and J9 because the Oil Refinery covers both sections.

The Gargle Oil Company covers a large piece of real-estate on the F&SM. This is the main building with many tanks and out buildings spread over the complex. After covering the main building I will post pictures of the out buildings.

The creek behind the Stone Roundhouse results in a wonderful waterfall behind the Mount Allen Trestle. I took these pictures by reaching through the trestle.

Sounds good Tom - I will wait to start the next section.
John,
Thank you for posting the photo's of Gargle Oil Company. I had looked at photo's in the past of Gargle however I never knew the amount of detail that George has put into this little scene. The piping & storage tanks alone would take the average modeler months to do.
Does anyone know what George used for a starting point? Is there some kits that he used?
Just like John Allen the name of the proprietor of Gargle is something to think about. If I am not wrong Skootz is names after Georges Late cat & I wonder if McGillcuddy is named after Lucy from I Love Lucy TV show of many years ago. I think McGillcuddy was Lucy's maden name.
Mike Simon
Hi Mike
Thanks for following the thread - I see that Tom answered your questions. This is a big complex - George removed the top of Mount Allen to make room for it. I really like Tom's "George is casting" comment. I'm taking that as a good sign.
Mike,
I believe used an old Vollmer kit he had in the back room for years. George has several old Vollmer kits he's used in recent years on the layout. John S. has shown a couple already in this thread. I'll ask about the Lucy show question next time we talk. He's casting right now. Hope this helps. Thanx Thom...
I thought I had more pictures of the Gargle Oil area but can't seem to find the folder. I'll show what I do have though. All the John Allen Trestle pictures are in that one as well.
Tom ;D
Mike,
Getting back to you on the McGillcuddy name. George say's no not the Lucy show. It was just a name he liked at the time when he built the structure. Hope this helps. Thanx Thom...
Here is what I have of the Gargle Oil area.

When you find your other folder - see if you have any pictures of Mackenzie Milling at the base of the John Allen Trestle. I photographed it last time, so there are pictures in the old thread, but I seem to have missed it this time. Only caught the roof in a couple pictures. I counted it in my structure count. ;)

John,
I've looked through all my hard drive folders and discs. I have no idea what happened but they appear to be gone.
It is a scary thought but I may have accidentally deleted them, I've looked everywhere.
This is the best I can do.

Sorry Thom
I knew that but my spell checker is constantly getting me in trouble with spelling (I have to remember to override it) - like I need help with that.
I love the Gargle scene , maybe because it's so different to most of the rest of the layout.

Okay Tom. I like the video. I will move on to the next section - more pictures to sort.
Tonight, I'm watching the Michigan football came and sorting pictures of Culbert Yard. More pictures coming soon.
Before we get started on Colbert Yard I found a couple pictures of MacKenzie Milling that had been put in the wrong folder. George has Mackenzie Milling underneath the Mount Allen Trestle.

It takes a number of water towers to support all the activity in Colbert Yard.
This large round water tower is near the turntable.

Thanks again John for all these wonderful photo's , when I one day visit the F&SM I will just look and talk and take it all in , I won't be needing to take any photo's thanks to this wonderful thread.
John, Thanks for the Photo's of the Brick Engine House. Does anyone know the MFG of the Brick Engine House?
Also some one needs to call the local police. There looks like there has been a murder inside of the Engine House. One of Georges Little People are down. I guess it is true glue will only hold up so long
Thanks again

Thanks Mike
I will add it to the list for George. He wants me to let him know about anything that is a problem.
A few of these pictures are blurry but I include them because they give us some information about a particular angle of a structure. I think it was getting late in the day when I got to this area and my arms were having trouble holding the camera still out on the end of that stick.
John, I think I answered my own question. The brick engine house is a Tom Yorke short line engine house. Looks like George used two kits & also widened it for two engines. I always liked the look & now I know why.

You are very welcome. I hope everyone finds these pictures useful. This last time that I visited George I was there for three days. I took pictures for 2 1/2 days and then put the cameras away and spent four hours just taking it all in. There were a lot of times when I was thinking - I hope I got a picture of that. As I'm going through the pictures, I'm remembering those details from the pictures in my mind.
John,
Great photos of areas we couldn't get to or see.
Mine of this area are limited.

Drat! We have people coming for estimates on work in the new house, and there's a local NMRA meet. Maybe next month!

I think the next open house will be in February before the Springfield show.
It's time for me to get caught up on the book keeping before we move on to the next section.
We just completed sections I6 and I7. And we will be moving to sections H6 and H7 next.

Okay, so I took a few pictures of the Colbert Yard Coaling Tower. I have a scratch build project in my future which will have many features from this coaling tower. I actually took more pictures but I think we have this structure covered.

With this last post we reached the 3000 F&SM picture mark.
John, using his camera stick, got some really fantastic shots of the F&SM RR. Many of the photographs are areas of the layout heretofore have never been seen.
Thank you John and a special thank you to George for letting us invade his empire for several hours to get all these pictures.
Here is my little paltry entry into the addition.

Good to see you back - I try to add pictures every week.
I just got off the phone with George Sellios and he asked me to let everyone know that he plans to retire from kit manufacturing at the completion of the I.M. Dunn kit. He wants to spend more time in retirement working on his layout. I can't wait to see what he does with the extra space that was reserved for kit manufacturing. I want to wish George and Cathy a very happy, long, and healthy retirement.
Amen, to that. The F&SM can only get better knowing George.
George told me at the last Expo that he plans on expanding Filmore Yardfor a start.
Tom ;D
It's time to get started with Section F7. We are again moving to the back of the yard just down from the Tenement Housing Project.
Here are a couple overview photographs of this section.

Your welcome Jim - I'm getting them posted slow but sure.

Thanks for stopping by the thread Karl. Kutroff & Pickardt Co is classic George Sellios. So far we have 250+ structures - I wonder how many would make my favorites list. For fun when I get this thread complete I will start a thread where everyone can lists their top 40 Sellios F&SM structures in rank order.
If you want to get started you can start making your list as we go around the layout but I want to wait until this thread reaches the roundhouse in Fillmore Yard before we start the thread. It should be fun.
There isn't a single structure that isn't my favorite.

You and I are going to have a rough time coming up with a top 40.
Hiding behind the Kutroff, Pickhardt & Company is the F. W. Herrmann Company a Painting Supplies Company. This structure is the main building from the FSM Barnstead Lumber Company Kit. See PostalKarl's build thread http://modelersforum.com/dioramas/barnstead-lumber-fsm-195/.

I'm going to add my pictures of the most recent area John has been showing. Then I'm going to confuse everyone. I spent the better part of three hours today going through my pictures and I finally figured out what was wrong.
More on this later this afternoon.
First my pictures.

What was confusing to me is that the unnamed red building seemed out of place as did the Uneeda Biscuit Co.
We all know George moves buildings and changes scenes over time. I just didn't remember the red building next to the biscuit company. Something seemed missing.
After several hours of going through all my F&SM pictures I found the red building and the biscuit company. These next few pictures aren't mine and I don't remember who sent them to me.
The unnamed red building and the Uneeda Biscuits used to be located in the town of Chesterville. Here are the pictures of these two building many years ago in Chesterville.

Does anyone remember when the T. McAvity & Sons Plumbing Supplies was located between the red building and the biscuit company?
I haven't been able to find T. McAtivy and Sons anywhere on the current layout. Maybe I just missed it when taking all the pictures.

The red structure and Uneeda Biscuits was located where the water tank is now.

It appears the double track behind the water tank used to me a roadway.,
Okay, I did find T. McAvity and Sons. Not sure what section its in but it is still on the layout.
The sign on Uneeda's is incredible.

Thanks for adding your pictures - this seems to be working very well. I have all my Bedford Falls Pictures sorted but it will take me awhile to get them all posted. I have a couple very busy weeks coming up.

John,
I thank you. I don't post any pictures until you have yours posted to the thread. It seems to work very well this way.
Tom ;D
John & Tom,
Thanks for all the pics! This is awesome.
I have been behind for a while on this thread and I finally caught up.
At the last EXPO the small trio of structures on page 64 of the thread really caught my eye (unnamed red structure, TJ Reilly's Widget Works and the Uneeda Biscuit building). It's cool to be able to see the other side of TJ Reilly's.
Why did I even bring my camera last time?! ;D
This makes me want to make it out there again....
Hi John & Tom:
Thanks for the great pictures.

What Tom Said!
You are very welcome. My pleasure to share the pictures.
It has been a couple of weeks since I posted pictures on this thread - I have been traveling to attend my daughter's wedding and also a hunting and fishing trip. We are staying home for the Thanks Giving week so I hope to get moving on posting pictures.
To get started again - we left off in Section D7 with the Bedford Falls Storage.
Here is an overview picture of this area.

In the first part of this video you can see the boiler house, abandoned water tank and the track tower. John Siekirk (S&S RR) has his back to the camera. He is using his "selfie camera stick" to get all the wonderful pictures we now enjoy.
In the background you can hear Frank Baker (Erieman) and Thom Driggers (tct855) talking about a flatcar camera they put on the front of one of the F&SM trains.

Enjoy!

Very nice - the guy in the background looks like he is getting tired.
I will try to get more pictures posted tomorrow. It's time for me to go to our Thanksgiving dinner. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Across the mainline we have the W. S. Nott Company - this structure is from the FSM Chippy Hollow kit.

(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-271116195108.jpeg)
We passed another landmark tonight - picture number 3200 was just added.
Across the street from the W. S. Knott Company we have this burned out shed.

Now moving to the back of the section we have the Bedford Falls Station. My favorite station on the F&SM. I have include a few photographs that are not high quality but show different angles of the station that would not be represented without them. This station was a reach even with the stick I was using, so I was taking pictures with my arms fully extended. I will include these poorer pictures towards the end of this section so you can pass by them quickly if you are not interested.

In Tom's picture above you will see the Flag Stop Dinner. Somehow I skipped over getting detail shots of it just a few over head views so here is what I got. The pictures I did get are not very good. Add it to the list for the next visit. I hope Tom got some good ones.

Thanks for stopping by the thread. Bedford Falls Station is my favorite Station on the F&SM. And it is real hard to get a good photograph of it.

FOr Sure, Bedford Falls station would be a very nice kit, with or without the segment over the track.

Thanks for the pictures - I'm glad you took a few of Rusty Spike dinner. I went all around it when I was shooting the pictures. If anyone needs more pictures of Rusty Spike there are a few on the original F&SM Thread.
It has been awhile since I reposted our map.
We now move on to Section C 6 and then C 5 and D5 all in Bedford Falls
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-090416194123.jpeg) (http://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-090416194123.jpeg)
Here is an overview photograph of this area.

And one more moving to the right again. This gives us an overview of the rest of the Bedford Falls area. Now we will focus on the individual structures.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-071216204517.jpeg)
Starting in the back of the scene we have the Missen Gears Complex.

We just passed the 3300 F&SM picture count.
Behind these structures across the mainlines and in the river we have the Fish Hatchery. This was a long reach but well worth it.

John,
To help keep you up to date on the structure count and locations. Here are a few pics of new structures recently added to the F&SM rr.
1) The Otis Hidden co. located just outside Colbert yard next to John Allen trestle.
2) The Reid-Murdoch & Co. located in Beaver Meadows just in front of the John Allen engine house.
3) The I.M. Dunn Co. located in Beaver Meadows just between the old mill pond & John Allen engine house.
Hope this helps for those keeping score. Thanx Thom...

Tom
Thanks for adding the additional pictures and the videos. I really like having the video clips of the area right along with the photographs.
I started sorting the pictures of Dovertown today. It will take a few days to get them ready to post especially with the holidays. We found some surprises in the concrete canyons.
Tom - As usual a big THANKS. Jim
John and Jim,
You are very welcome. This is a wonderful thread and John has been posting pictures of the layout that haven't been seen in years past.
I didn't think about linking the videos to the pictured areas until a few weeks ago. I'll post the videos of the prior areas at the end of all the pictures.
I also found some additional pictures I took but we have already left those areas so they will be added at the end and listed a Misc. stuff.
I appreciate all the work John has been doing on the pictures and also for letting me tag along with my pictures.
Tom ;D
John,
George & I were talking on the phone about this and some other threads. George says seeing all the detailed picture angles of each of his structures gives him a little different perspective and ultimately some new detail improvement ideas!
He is so motivated to adding, changing & overall improving his layout in his retirement. So Kudos to you & the others for posting the pictures. Thanx Thom...

Great to hear George is enjoying the pictures. Knowing George I will probably have to start a new "after retirement thread" the next time I visit George. I'm working on sorting the pictures of Dovertown and the North River area and will be posting again soon.
I finally got the pictures of Dovertown sorted. Today, I will get started on posting them. I think you will see this wonderful city from a few new angles over the next few weeks.

Here is our grid map so we can regain our bearings. I'm going to start with a few overview pictures and then move from front to back - Sections C 4 then C 3, C2. Then I will move on to Sections D 4, D 3, and D2. We will finish up this group of pictures with E 4, E 3, and E2, where the highline passes between the large structures (The famous Dave Frary Picture from George's book).

I found some completely detailed areas with the camera that I don't believe you can see from the isle. I have really enjoyed sorting through the pictures and will be posting them as quickly as I can.

Thanks for following along and it is my pleasure along with the reset of the gang that is contributing to this thread - as I said above I have some really neat pictures coming so stay tuned. It is just very time consuming get the pictures ready to post.
As we move over the high line, one of the first structures is this white structure - I have it on my list for a name from George.

I mentioned some time back that holding the camera still on the end of a 4 foot pole was problematic. I want this to be a modelers thread so I have included even some of the blurry shots if it is an angle that you can't get from the isle. Thanks for following the thread.
John - thanks again. More ideas for making buildings unique. Jim
Explanation I missed previously ... all makes sense now. Thanks
I don't know if I should put this on here or not, but the cyclone on top of the chemical company would never work.
Many thanks John , best thread on any model train forum ever.

George is an artist. Sometimes what looks right - doesn't get past the Engineering Department. Trust me on this - I spent my career telling artists (automotive designers) that their design looks beautiful but we can't make it work. I think adding the comment here is appropriate - if you add what you would do to change it to make it work - this is a modelers forum and we like to get everything right.
George reads this and don't be surprised if the next time we visit the F&SM the cyclone has been changed. George believes in continuous improvement.

John, The collector on top of the chemical building is called a Cyclone. What it does is gather the product supplied by the upper tubes, which are ok on the model, the only one with a problem would be the back tube that attaches to another tube and not the Cyclone. As the material passes into the Cyclone it starts to swirl hence the name. As it turns it drops down the funnel. George has all the supply tubes in the middle of the funnel, so the material would just spin by it and not go down the tubes. The tubes should be attached to the bottom of the funnel inside the building and there, threw a diverter, can be sent to where ever it has to go. The only modeling problem is that all the lower tubes would not be there giving the model less of a industry look. A fix would be to raise the Cyclone and put a diverter at the bottom then run the pipes where they need to go. Sorry this is a little long winded but that's how it has to work in the real world.

I think I know what you mean but is there a possibility you could post a picture?
It was hard to find just a simple picture but this might work
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi51.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ff373%2Fsteammodeler%2FAndy%2520folder%2Fstructures%2Fhome_use_crop_straw_maize_corn_rice_feed_hammer_mill_with_cyclone_and_blower.jpg&hash=6e9626aa93730f86361eec58e64feebb317ff8c7)
in the picture the product is feed into the grinder, seeing this is a feed mill set up by the auger on the left. The feed goes through the grinder into the blower right next to it. Then by using air power it blows the product up the tube and into the cyclone. The product enters the cyclone from the side and spins down into the funnel and out the bottom. Now if you want to send it more places than one you add a pipe deverter to the bottom of the funnel. The deverter looks like a spider. the product goes into it's back and can be sent through whatever leg you want it to go. In the mill I run, our grinder and blower is15 feet below ground level. the blower has a 75 hp motor on it, it blows feed through a 12 inch pipe straight up for 75 feet then horizontaly for 50 feet into our roof cyclone, then down into the mixers. The reason I call the deverter a spider is because that is what we call ours, it has eight legs. So basicly anything that goes into the cyclone HAS to come out the very bottom of the funnel. I knew I shouldn't of said anything!!

Hi John:
Thanks for the latest photos.
Karl
You are welcome Karl.
Behind and to the right of the Royal Cloak building we have Winke & Basil Cigar Building. In addition to Winke & Basil there are there large unnamed structures that fill out the skyline behind Dovertown Station

Thank you John.

Thank in advance

I talked to George about this structure. George didn't build it he bought / traded it many years ago from the late Dave Newcomb. I, with George's concurrence, named it the Dave Newcomb building. If you check out the other "It's about the details" F&SM thread I have more pictures and a few more details about the building.

No hurry! You get healed up first. I have a bunch more for Dovertown that will keep me busy for awhile. I will hold off on moving on to the North River area until you can catch up. Do not, I repeat, do not push yourself and end up having more problems. End of lecture. ;) I hope the fact that your getting back on the forum means your feeling better. Get well soon my friend.
Next to the Dave Newcomb building we have Brasso Brass Cleaning Polish Company.

We also have this box car red structure - I can't make out the name on the side of the building - it's on my list of questions for George.
(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-300117154401.jpeg)
Moving towards the front of the layout we have Johnny Stechinos Taste of Italy Restaurant.

(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/18-300117154546.jpeg)
I've always been a fan of the Dave Newcomb building, It's definitely a unique structure. Looks like one of the old Master Creations designs in style.
It was featured on one of the pages of the original FSM book. If I recall George said it was a contest winner and at the time of the book I think the only structure not built by George. I'm amazed at how George can completely redo a whole area and have it look seamless. When I visited during the last Expo it had been 15 years since my last visit and it was like a whole new layout in places.
This thread is great, thanks for posting all these pictures.

Hi John:
Great photos Thanks.
Karl
The painted wall on Catherine's is just so well done , awesome doesn't even come close to how much I like that. If you would tell us that George had an artist come in to do that , I would believe it without a doubt whatsoever.
I agree with Jan about the Catherine Ann's building. How thin must George sand those pictures to get the bricks to show so well? I suspect the letters were dry transfers but he's painted the "shadows". The weathering, vents/etc, and of course pigeons on the roof are classic F&SM.
Jeff
Time to get caught up with John on the F&SM pictures.

It's great to see you posting pictures again Tom. Thank you! I will be adding more Dovertown pictures before I move on to the North River.
John,
Thanks, I'm doing a little more each day. I have about 80 more pictures of this area to post.

My next 50 pictures are of A. ZOL CO. and Peterson Henderson Company. These are two of my favorite structures so I did a little over kill on the pictures for these two.
I'll add them later this evening.
Time for a Diet Pepsi and nap.
Tom
Thanks again for adding your pictures to this thread. I'm in the process of loading my pictures of the North River Area and will begin posting them as soon as you get a chance to finish your Dovertown pictures.
John,
I'll start adding the rest in a few minutes.
Tom ;D
As I mentioned, these are two of my favorites among hundreds. I spent a good thirty minutes on these two.

John,
Did you by chance get any pictures of the rear of these two structures?

John,

Tom
Sorry I did not. Every shot I took from the back side was from the Northfield River and the large weights for the Bascule Bridge Block the view.

I also noticed that I haven't updated the index since page 66 so I have a lot of catching up to do on that in the coming weeks. I think what I'm going to do is post the pictures along the Northfield River and then take a break from this project for a few weeks. It will take a lot of hours to process all the pictures from South Manchester and catch up with the index etc.
The Henderson structure is so cool,,,,,,,I'm tempted to scratch-build that little thing!

I think that may be the most photographed structure on the F&SM. It would make an excellent scratch build.
Thanks for following the thread.
Sometime in the past when MR had an article of the FSM, recall seeing that structure in the photo spread...the Henderson building...removed from the layout hiding a switch machine ...
Tommy
Any photos of Henderson's from the back?- Like having to use a photo extension stick?

I didn't get a picture from the back side. Every shot I took from back there the Henderson structure was blocked by the weights from the Bascule Bridge. I know Frank Baker ran a train through there with his video camera. We should be able to get a screen shot from that.
Hi John,
Again, many thanks for posting the pictures of George' layout. There are many ideas there for many little scenes to place around someone's layout.

Your welcome! Enjoy!
I just added F&SM picture number 3600 to the gallery. Getting ready to post the pictures of the Northfield River Area.
Before I get started with the Northfield River take a look at our grid map. I'm going to do this section a little different. We are going to start in section H4 and follow the river all the way across the layout to the next aisle. This will leave all of South Manchester and Manchester for our next major section to explore. North River Next - Sections H 4, I 3, and J 3.

Well, tonight we got started. In our next installment we will take a raft trip down the river. George has some wonderful detail all the way down the river.
I just loaded F&SM picture number 3700 and I have about 70 more to load for the North River. So I guess that makes about 270 pictures of the Northfield River Area. How much you want to bet we will find something I missed.
Clearly, the greatest thread on the Internet. Every minute you put into it results in hours of viewing enjoyment and learning. Thanks, John.
I'll start getting the pictures I have of this area ready.
Tom ;D

I thought the Northfield River area was on the other side of the water.

As we look under the bridge the Coal Dock is on the left.

Tom
My understanding is that this is the North River that runs completely across the layout. I'm calling both sides of the river the North River area. Once you get past the river bank you are in South Manchester. I hope I'm right? ???
John,
Check your location. The big black bascule bridge is the one just to the right of the Zol and Henderson structures.
I think you are on the other side of this area.

Sorry, my bad. You are correct. I didn't get the coal dock as it was to far from the edge. You are in the correct area. Again, my bad.

That does it for the North River Area Pictures. I will be updating the index in the next few days and updating the structure count. It will be a few weeks before I can get the South Manchester pictures ready for posting.
Once again thank you for all the time and effort John and Tom, really really appreciate it.

You are welcome Jan.

John was able to get hundreds of pictures of the F&SM using his camera stick. Many of the photos haven't been seen from his angles in the past.
George was a very gracious host in allowing us to get all the shots.
Here is the continuation of my North River area pictures.

Please note: Sometime late at night in the past few weeks the Northfield river was mistakenly renamed the North River on this thread. Must be an age thing. I tried to go back and correct the mistake but I'm sure I missed a few. Sorry, I hope I don't get fired.
John,
No problem. I just found another file I placed in the wrong place. It contains another 100 or so photos from the last March photo shoot.
The problem is they are all pictures of areas we have already covered. I guess we'll need a catch up session of missed photos.
Hope I don't get fired.
Tom ;D

Let's plan on a new and what we forgot along the way section after we complete one complete lap around the layout at Filmore Yard. I have the same problem - pictures that got placed in the wrong directory on the initial sort. If the picture is a new angle or a just has to be in the right place I will edit the past posts and put it in from there, as time permits.

Last night, I finished sorting the pictures of South Manchester and Manchester. Now, I have to get them ready to post. I'm going to do a few structures at a time rather, than waiting until the complete area is finished - so I should have new pictures to post this week.
Let's take another look at our grid map to get ready for the next section of pictures. We will be starting in section I 4 and then move into J4. I will then move into sections I 5 and J 5.

A note on structure placement. In sorting the pictures of South Manchester and Manchester I kept having the problem with were to place the pictures of the large buildings that separate the peninsula of the layout. The front of a building may be in one town and the back in the other. So I will merge the pictures by structure so all of the pictures of a particular structure will be in the same place. I hope this will be clear as we move through the pictures.
This thread is locked. All new pictures will be posted in a new thread - Starting with South Manchester.
Bump
The three threads that comprise the F&SM Pictures averaged 763 views per day the last 60 days. I have been keep track of it for the past 2 years and this views per day number has ranged between 427 and 846. That is an amazing interest in George's work.
Bump
Update: It has been a couple years since I woke these threads up and moved them to the top of the stack. George and I talk on regular bases and we planned on doing an update photo shoot in 2020. Like everything else in 2020 it has been postponed - to a time when we have a vaccine and travel through out the land is again safe. George has been keeping busy making changes to the F&SM. He describes changes to me and then we talk about what's going to get changed, next. I can't wait to get there - hopefully a 2021 trip. Until then, I revisit these pictures and find something new every time I look through them.
