This area is called Belverton.  There are two structures, a street car and passenger platform.  I will include pictures of these structures and the very nice scenery that George has in this area.

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.

[S&S RR]

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 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.

[S&S RR]

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.

Here are a few detail pictures of the scenery as we fly over.
