Love those draw bridge pictures. Nice job cleaning up those photos. It takes time to do that right.

Is there any articles on when he started this layout? I did see some articles way back in the model magazines but nothing extensive. It seemed like he just pop on to the modeling scene.

Bernd,

Thank you. The drawbridge photos were mixed in the file and are not old photos. These were taken a few years ago and should not have been included. However, I'm going to leave them for now.

I believe George started building the F&SM in 1983 or 1986, can't remember. Allen Keller did three VHS tapes of the F&SM. George has been on the modeling scene for some 40 years.

The old farm scene is one of my favorites on the F&SM.

Continuing with the old F&SM photos.

This next photo shows the tracks George prepared for the first Allen Keller VHs tape. He is showing the weathering and how he added the ballast.
