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

[S&S RR]

In front of the South Manchester Depot we have this white gas station - It doesn't seem to have a name so I will call it the Champion garage for the large sign on the front.  What great detail.

And here are a few more from John Sullivan.

Next door to the garage is Honey Bee's:

The little gas station is one of my favorite structures on the F&SM.  Thanks for the pics!

How many of the structures on George's layout have been built by himself? The amount of detail on his layout is so incredible , it would take me 5 lifetimes to achieve that.

....and that if you started those lifetimes at six years old!!!!

Thanks for stopping by the thread - it is one of mine too - I think it's all the details.

My understanding is that most of the structures on the layout were built by George.  Only a few modelers have had the honor of having one of their structures displayed on the F&SM.

I know it's hard to believe George has built all of this - I would love to watch him work.  He has got to be very fast.

In his book George talks about 5 small structures that he didn't build.  Perhaps its 6 or 7 now but the rest...  I did sit next to a chap at the 2015 expo who had built many vehicles for the F&SM (Scott Baroody).  I'm sure George has had help in other areas as well but there is no doubt that the amount he has accomplished is nothing short of staggering.  I can procrastinate for longer than it takes George to build an entire town!

Cheers, Mark.

Mark,

I have built some of the items on the layout.  I built one of the pile drivers that George has on the layout.  I also built many of the telegraph poles, and a bunch of Tichy freight cars.

Thanks for stopping by the thread and for the input.  George mentioned the pile driver - which one did you build and I will add a note to the post?

Directly behind the South Manchester Depot we have the American Tool & Die Company.
