Title: Photo Stop at the F&SM RR
Post by: halrey on March 17, 2018, 06:56:18 PM

Well, I made another photo run-by at the F&SM RR two days ago. George has replaced some of the older buildings that had been built in a rush with some new structures. The restaurant with the pawn shop are a Downtown Deco kit, while the other 2 are scratch built. The fish company bldg. covers a turnout motor.
Always new improvements every time I stop by!

Hal,
Nice pictures! Lots to see there as always. Glad George is keeping busy building, building, building. He should start a kit building company someday. I bet others would love to see what he comes up with.
Thanx Thom...

The War Bond sign is pretty cool!

Yeah, but it very much sets the date for the layout as around 1942-1943.

So much for the Depression! If the F&SM has sprung forward in years, maybe George will begin a "Urban Renewal" program and clean the place up?

Hal.... thank you for posting these great pictures (...and also thanks to George!). I never get sick of seeing George's work.

With that said, I was hoping somebody out there could help me out. For the life of me I have been unable to find the sign/billboard on one of the new buildings. It's the "Hasten the Day! - Buy War Bonds" sign/billboard on the 'Ingram Richardson Mfg Co'. Does anybody out there have this sign. If so, could you please post it to this thread?

Thank you in advance for any help received!!
