Franklin & South Manchester Railroad - 2016 - From the Air.

The first structure at the top of the hill in Section N 11 is The J. Winkie Company.

[S&S RR]

Next to The J. Winkie Co. is M. Sibely & Company.

Next to Sibely's is the Jake Fish Co.

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.

Next to Jake's is the Hotel Davenport.

[S&S RR]

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.

Moving down the hill we have Bertha's Bar & Grill.

[S&S RR]

And next door we have Dixon's.

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.

Here are a few more pictures of Bertha's and Dixons.

Moving down the hill once more we come to the Fox Run Milling.
