Very neat structure.

I do love that stonework.

Cheers, Mark.

Hi John....thanks for the welcome and for providing all of those pictures.  They're great!!

On a related note, do you happen to have any good (...or even "not so good") pictures of a brick two story building called "Porky's Bar & Grill"??  The structure is located in Franklin and it's right next to the "Fish Row" of buildings.  The footprint of the building is kind of triangle shaped.  If you happen to have pictures of this structure, would you mind posting them?

Like I said, good or even not so good pics would be great.  It's a structure I had attempted to build a few years ago and scrapped it but now I would like to give it another shot.  And having as many pictures as possible at different angles, etc. would be really helpful.

I'd really appreciate any help you could provide (...or possibly any other forum members).  Thanks!!

Yes - I have a few pictures of Porky's (the two story triangular brick building just across the river from fish row).  It will be next weeks structure of the week. I need to do some homework to make sure I have everything in one place before I post them.  Stay tuned if I get the homework done we may have two structures this week.

Hi John.....thanks!! I really appreciate that!!

By special request (see post above) we are going to have two structure's of the week this week (yes - it's okay John's new here but has been a George Sellios fan for a long long time). The Special this week is Porky's Place in the town of Franklin.

Here is an overview shot to place the structure on the F&SM.



Porky's Place is the brick structure between the Franklin Garage and the river. The triangular shaped building.

It is difficult to get pictures of Porky's from different angles because it seems to always be partially blocked.  Here are the pictures I found.  I hope these help you with your project John.  I also hope you will consider doing a build thread here on the forum when you get at the project.

I love the detail work he does. Great pictures. Sure would love to see the layout again. I saw the very first section of the layout years ago and was amazed.

I thought I'd throw this in.

George Sellios still sells the book he published about the F&SM. Give him a call if you don't already own the book:

Wow, John...!!!  Thank you so much for posting all of those "Porky's Place" pictures.  Yeah, it's a tough one to get good angles on but I'll take any picture I can get of this structure.

So thanks again.  I truly appreciate it!!
