As we move down the row of taller buildings we come to Moses Barongould Flour.

It has always amazed me how much of this layout was built with that one wall of Victoria Falls Hotel. And yet every one looks different.

It also amazes me just how many of the Magnuson kits George used through out the layout. I'm sure he made rubber molds of the walls and then made plaster/resin copies.

They are all different as you say.

I forgot to show the photo of the Borax building from 1987.

Here are two photos for the area John is now featuring. Notice that George has shortened the passenger platform to open up this area?

Some times the changes are very subtle.

Photo below of the bar and tobacco co. in 1987. Old street lamp and tree.



Same area below with no tree and new/modern street lamp and added utility poles. Blue fence to the right of tobacco shop is now gone as well.

I sure hope so!!

Thanks for stopping by the thread Andy.  I will be processing more pictures this evening.

Hi Matt


Thanks for stopping by the thread - I'm always amazed at how many FSM Kit castings are in every scene.  The structure walls are used many times - always looking a little different.
