I just realized that the last time I updated the index was on page 16 - I have some catching up to do.

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.

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.

That index is a lot of work when you let it go to long

. Now back to the pictures of Rocky Point Harbor.

S&S RR · June 10, 2016, 09:23:51 PM

The next structure in Rocky Point Harbor is the Fine Scale Miniatures Building.

S&S RR · June 10, 2016, 09:48:40 PM

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.

S&S RR · June 10, 2016, 10:00:24 PM

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.
