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

[Mark Dalrymple]

Matt - you will have to remind me - are they from John Allen's layout?  The ones that put the big dip in the box car?

Would just like to add that in the photo above this one I was really taking a picture of the stone retaining wall.  Isn't it magnificent?  And the use of different materials - a concrete retaining wall supporting the steep road, topped with a metal pipe fence, then a stone retaining wall and then the wooden paling fence on top.  One of my favorite scenes on George's layout.

Cheers, Mark.

PS - thanks again for all your hard work, John - we all appreciate it!

Thanks for identifying another tribute to John Allen's layout.  George has many of them - including the hanging diesel salesman.

You will notice that I used your picture just the way you sent it to me.  I see all those  details myself when I look at F&SM pictures - I believe that it's the scenery and details that really make the structures pop out and look realistic.

As we come to the end of Watson's Salvage we have the Dexter Box Company.  I think that it's fitting that the box company is yellow.

Mark Dalrymple captured this photograph of Dexter Box Company.

The roof of Dexter's Box Company can be seen in this John Sullivan photograph.

Next to Dexter's is the Jamestown Water Stop - George's FSM Jewel 16 kit.

As we move down the mainline we come to the Manchester Central Station.  We cover this stone structure earlier in the thread but I will repost the pictures here for completeness.
