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 - 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 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.

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 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.

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.

GPdemayo · May 09, 2016, 08:19:35 AM

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.
