This is Part 2 of George
Sellios' fabulous Franklin & South Manchester, the most famous model railroad
in the world! This is our second video devoted to the F&SM. The first was
Great Model Railroads, Volume 2 covering the large
urban buildings in the city of Manchester.
Volume 24 covers the new areas of Dovertown and Bedford Falls. Dovertown is similar
to Manchester with massive buildings, but Bedford Falls is a small town with 2
or 3 story wooden buildings. At Big Falls trestle the scenery goes all the way
to the floor! In these areas George continued his method of just building with
limited planning. This procedure seems to work well for him because that's how
he designs his kits for Fine Scale Miniatures.

The F&SM
represents an imaginary line in 1930s Massachusetts. George considers the HO layout
his full-time job and works on it for many hours every day. Like his idol John
Allen, George will continue to devote most of his waking hours to the railroad.
George, Mike Tylick and Paul Saulenas offer clinics on detailing yards, weathering
rolling stock, and modifying FSM kits. George has created the F&SM as a fantasy
world of model railroading with an exaggerated emphasis on detailing. He doesn't
try to capture any particular prototype locomotive or building. Instead he goes
for the overall effect.

George's whole life is
tied up with the hobby. Most everything he does revolves around model railroading
in one way or another. He has created a "Great Model Railroad" because
of his extraordinary skill, and a marvelous eye for color, texture and form.
