The Franklin & South Manchester Railroad - it's all about the details!

[S&S RR]

...well, getting to pibiddy from Scranton is not really on the way.....just sayin'.....

Jeff you are correct - but it does get me on the east coast.  Sometime in January I will start planning my trip for the EXPO and see if a trip to the F&SM is in the cards for this year.

[S&S RR]

It's time to get back to looking at F&SM pictures on this thread.  The thirteenth and fourteenth structures along the top of the hill in Franklin are the M. Sibiey & Company and the Jake Fish Company.

[S&S RR]

The fifteenth structure on the top of the Franklin hill is the Hotel Davenport.

[S&S RR]

I thought it was time to remind everyone that I'm keeping an index of the names and locations of each of the structures on page 1 of this thread.  I try to keep it up each week as we add more structures.

John,

Great idea on the indexing.

Thanks for the Hotel Davenport pics.  I've saved several from whenever I've seen them in print with the intention of building this someday.  I think I have the windows/doors and styrene for the walls here somewhere.

No problem Jeff - I just started with that structure last night and should have some more pictures.

I think we will find it very useful as this thread grows.

Franklin is my favorite area of the F&SM.

If you all get a road trip next year to Peabody, count me in.

I love the look of "Hotel Davenport", simple, clean lines, and George of course brings it to perfection.....we gotta get another trip up there....but let's wait till warm weather......

[Amagic41]

Jeff I agree .....warmer weather ...... we're in...sounds like a nice weekend road trip

[S&S RR]

Jeff, Ken, Jaime


I agree warmer weather sound like a good idea - maybe we can plan the trip at the EXPO. I'm in NYC to see my daughter a few times every year so, maybe I can add it to one those trips.

The sixteenth structure as we move down the hill is Maranatha Warehouse and Storage Company.











Another great use of a mirror.

Structure 17 in the row is Kratz Scissors Company with it's unique sign.
