Are those trucks and cars on the layout Wiseman models or , did Wiseman take over that business?

Jan


George has cars and trucks from just about every manufacturer on the layout - a number of the vehicles in this area are Jordon. Wiseman models has taken over a number of manufacturers - but Jordon is not one of them.  At least not yet.  The owner of Jordon died and I believe the business is in limbo right now.  Can anyone fill in the holes in this story?  I just took a look at Wiseman's website and it looks like they are selling some of the trucks found in this area.  I believe they were originally produced by S&S LTD.

Great catch on that road side shack.  I only had one very poor picture of it.

Tonight, we are going to pass through the Wildness Area on the F&SM.  Lots of great little surprises in this area.  George don't let Tommy talk you into removing this area. 

[S&S RR]

For those that got a chance to see all the wilderness area photographs I posted over the past week or so on this thread it was all just a dream - they where never there. I will try to get back to this thread and repost them when time permits. They all have to be reprocessed because I only save the raw pictures not the downsized versions that will fit on the forum.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say a big "THANK YOU" to John for hosting and posting all the photos for the fabulous F&SM RR. I know what he went through to get some of the never before seen pictures he has been showing on this thread.

Since he has lost a few dozen of the pictures posted here, I know he will re-post them. For those of us that do post pictures on a regular basis, it does in fact take some time to do.

So, John, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT ON THE THREAD.

John,

You are very welcome. I found a picture of the other side of track shack on my other camera.

While John is regrouping and getting his pictures ready, here are a few I got of the wilderness area.

My main focus while at the F&SM was to concentrate on structures. I did manage to get the old abandoned bridge in as it is a structure.

Notice the man in the lake? John has a close up of the scene.

Thanks for the kind words Tom.  I do have backup of the cropped pictures so I just have to run them through the software called aperture that I use to size them to fit in the forum gallery. Then resubmit them to the forum gallery and the posting can begin again. I sure wish there was an easier way.





Also Tom, Thank you for posting your pictures.

The wilderness area consists of sections E11, D11, C11, B11, B10, and B9.

[S&S RR]

I'm going to cover these wildness area sections as a group and we will come back to the sections closer to the aisle way.

[S&S RR]

Let's start out with a few pictures of the pond.
