At the edge of the layout in front of these large buildings George has this roadway and cemetery scene.

John showed a picture of the overall layout a few post back. Here is one of the downtown area taken in July of 1986.

Thanks for a Great Christmas present - more historic F&SM pictures. I love seeing where George has taken the layout over the years. Thanks again for sharing these.

George & I thought here's a couple old rare shots of Marthaville located at the rear of the layout next to Dovertown as seen through a tiny hole in the backdrop. Enjoy! Thanx Thom... Hey BTW how do I post pics side by side with written captions next to them. I'm definitely a bit sloooow.

Thom btw I will get in touch with you when I get back to my computer next week and show you how to use the gallery to post big pictures with captions. Thanks again for sharing your pictures here.

Just a quick post to let you know I haven't forgot about this thread - I'm in the process of preparing the next batch of pictures. I also have good news, I had a long talk with George this week and we have set a date for me to go back and take more photographs.

I'm really looking forward to spending some more time with George. I will be filling in some of the holes in this thread and taking better photographs of the structures we have already covered.
